She was indignant Her kingdom had an invader An invader many times smaller

She was spooked These sorts of invaders terrified her There were exceptions

This was not an exception

This was her kingdom And this invader was impudent How dare they?!

She, as queen, had enforced law She would dole out the sentence Being judge, jury, and execution

Sentencing the invader to Death.

The execution would be spontaneous But the invader wouldn’t suffer Not for long, however

The carpet did need cleaning And she picked the method of execution Soapy lemon water

It took two hits First one to kill Second one to complete

...

Shattered, shattered like cheap glass

Under the weight of a plastic cup

The damn broke into sharp pieces

Splintered off like a warning

A warning not to shout so loud

Over the roaring rush of water crashing

Against bone

A warning with promise to rebuild

The damn stronger

Stronger is all it ever tried to be

Stronger is all it ever tried to be

All that needed to happen

Was to contain the water

Don’t let it seep out any more cracks

The pressure was too much

The water crashed violently into the valley

Pulling trees from there roots

Ripping rocks from deep within the mud

Destroying the wasteland

That became when the damn was first built

The water settled after awhile

Glistening in the sun,

Warming for the first time in too many years

Seeping into the dirt

With the intention to create a new world

Weaving life back into the wasteland

Drowning never felt so good

Freedom never tasted so delicious

Drowning never felt so good

The title may not be suitable for this kind of topic. Well, parents they head the family, they don't control or dictate their kids. They guide them into the person they want them to become. They tell them what to do or what not to do, "dos and don'ts", what is good and what is bad. They make us eat veggies, and less fats. They spank us if we did something wrong. Basically, what they say, goes.

They are just looking up for them, because they love them. Sometimes overly. They repeatedly remind them, they repeatedly say stuff and things. They repeatedly do that so they can be guided.

Let me ask this, if you continue pouring water in to a glass without stopping what will happen? Water will be wasted. Exercise is good for our health, do it everyday, eventually you'll get sick. Studying it is good for students to study, now try doing it non-stop, you'll be stressed out.

What I am saying to all parents, not to be repeatable, a kid has their own mind, their own self, they can make decisions. Let them learn from it. In real life you don't have someone who keeps reminding you, you only have yourself. Don't train them to have someone reminding everything for them, train them to remind their-self.

"Eventually the water in a glass will be full. So stop; Eventually a student gets tired. So take a break; Eventually the water will boy. So turn the fire off." - Edgardo "Pipoy" Bernardo Algarra III 

You know how moths are attracted to light? They literally dance around a light bulb,  careful not to get to close before they are burned.. But sometimes, they get burned anyway and instead of ending the dance all together to protect themselves...the moth just keeps going back for more.

After quite sometime of watching this moth, you start to feel bad so what do you do? 

smash the fucking light bulb

A bus driver, not knowingly hit and killed a cat, while he was driving. He did not intend to kill the cat. He, in fact, did not even saw the cat. 

Only the cat did not look both ways or even stop to see that the traffic light is on green.

The cat's family, now, are trying to sue the bus driver for a crime, a crime, he did not even know, he committed.

The bus driver did not intend to kill the cat. He was just doing his job. He saw a green light, then go for it. Like any other would do. Now the cat? It faced it's own demise head on. It wanted to die. It should have stayed on the sidewalk. It should not have cross the road. Too late.

Now, where is the bus driver? In prison, rotting, being miserable. Having cats mad at him, cursing at him, for some accident that, that poor cat brought to itself.

The bus driver do not deserve this. No.

A bus driver imprisoned for nothing at all.

METAPHORIC LEGEND:

Cat - a guilty person

Cat's Family - insecure people

Cross the Road - something done
