Lillie McFerrin Writes
A little girl with a wide smile and something unnamable
behind her blue eyes.
Distracted parents, phones in hand, believing the best,
ignoring the signs, rush through lessons, appointments, destinations,
busy-ness.
No time for pausing to really look, and listen, and realize.
But it is already too late; the cartridge of malice slips
silently into the barrel of her mind as she selects her target.
The die has been cast.
Interesting take - I liked it a lot, very dark.
