Leeches courtesy photobucket |
As a boy one of my delights
was to go to the creek and catch crawfish and use them for bait and try to
catch some perch fish.
In some areas of the creek
there were rocks which narrowed it and it would overflow on to the adjacent
fields during heavy rains.
My uncle got a job to hand
carry the rocks onto the creek bank; the theory being it would stop the
flooding.
It was hard work for the rocks
were heavy and when you turned them over you had to watch out for snakes.
I
used to like to watch my uncle grab the snakes by the tail and snap their heads
off by using them like a whip.
I guess those were my macabre
days as a kid. If my Uncle hadn’t of
done that he would have had to deal with them over and over again and
eventually get bit.
Something I hated about
playing in the creeks was the leeches that would attach themselves to you and
suck the blood from you. They were nasty critters and hard to get off.
One quick way was to get a cigarette and burn
them. They didn’t like the searing of their skin and would turn loose almost
immediately. From that day till this I have hated leeches of any kind.
When you stop to think about
it there are leeches of all types in every area of our lives, those who are
blood suckers living off of someone else.
The media is one of the worst
offenders. A person makes a mistake and
they pounce upon them with one purpose and that is to eat them alive, and it
becomes a feeding frenzy.
As long as the Network sponsors keep paying them,
they pursue with the intent to harm and harass others just for ratings and
money.
There are none worse than the
politicians who enjoy punishing the people through regulations, laws and
taxation.
This ought not to be, but
because of so many leeches living off of the working class it will continue and
grow worse.
The leeches that scam people
out of their goods are among the worst and have become a cottage industry. They prey upon the elderly as well as the
uninitiated.
Leeches abound in every area
of life.
They cannot be avoided for they have infiltrated even in to the
churches and what is worse is that you can find them in families.
From the first time leeches
attached themselves to me I have hated those blood suckers and I don’t expect
to ever get over it.
