chain letter

you get a chain
letter in the mail
giving you fair
warning that if you
don't send it back
out to ten or more
friends then you will
be doomed and cursed
for the rest of your
days. it makes you
squirm in your chair.
the idiocy and threat
of it a reflection
of the sick human
condition preying
on weakness and fear.
you ball it up and
light it on fire
then delete the so
called friend that
sent it. your new
mission is clear.
