In Praise of Feeling Bad About Yourself

Posted on July 30, 2015 by poojycat

The buzzard never says it is to blame. The panther wouldn’t know what scruples mean. When the piranha strikes it feels no shame. If snakes had  hands, they’s claim their hands were clean. A jackal doesn’t understand remorse. Lions and … Continue reading →
