The White Mice

Today I saw Tedra sacrifice a white mice
to her pet snake,
whom she adores like a god,
to feed it & satisfy it's hunger.
The killing was awful.
What was worst was the shaking of the mice
when Holly bought it in inside a brown bag.
It gave me a flashback when she arrived with the mice
of when I received my first hamster for Hanukkah.
When spooky (my first hamster) was bought into my life,
he arrived in a little box.
He was scared & I bet afraid of why he was covered in darkness inside that box.
Little did he know was that he was going to be safe, unlike this little guy (the white mice) he didn't know or see what he had coming.
Holly sad that was the circle of life. I guess one thing is eating after another, kind of like emotions.
I didn't understand why I was so interested to see the sacrifice of the white mice.
But I faced on my biggest fears: Seeing death before my eyes.
The White Mice, was a representation of my fears. And his life was one of my lessons learned.
