This Nice Guy

It's funny how...
some of the most unsuspecting people
are the most dangerous.

Take this guy I know...
always seemed to be good natured
didn't smile too much..
(that's always a sign of something evil)
Those chronic smilers....

This guy..
had a real easy way about himself.
not to self absorbed...
a listener...
even helped his neighbors
with there groceries a few times...

Nice Guy right....
I wonder...
at what point all his niceness
became more like... a sickness
I wonder what happend inside him
to all of a sudden...make him
start beating his dog...
A Jr. Lab...
I wonder...
did he loose his job...
well no  he didnt...
he is self employed..
But what...
was he possessed over night
by some wretched wraith
that made him...
somehow...hollow...
and less friendly...
His wife...
now there...is a nice lady
I notice she doesnt smile anymore
Infact she doesnt do much of anything...
But sit in the window...most evenings
watching me....watch her.

What happend...
to make this Nice guy...
someone I admired...
go shoot his wifes...
ex husband....
The news exploded with this story.
This guy...was like...
almost like... a play brother to me...
What ....the hell happend.

One minute...he is telling
me how much healthier I will be
by becoming a vegitarian
Now...all he will be eating
is whatever they serve in there.

My heart...
is broken...
not because I could have done
anything to stop this..
It's broken because...
Now...
there is oneless Father home
with his child...
One less husband... there to comfort
his wife...
One less neighbor...
to help the Greenwells with there groceries...

It pains me because
a good man...
almost killed another human being.....

I hope
these events
are NOT a precursor
to what else 2013
has to bring.
