smelling on the bus

i smelled heartless-people on sunday...
the bus picked up a large group of older citizens coming home from a easter sunday church service. two such church-goers were decorated with approximately 12 golden heart shaped pins on each arm of their forest green coats. so at first glance, you think well these people must have a heart, why, they are showing visibly they have approximately 12. a few stops later, a homeless gent tried to get on the bus "fare-free" by telling the bus driver with a hopeful sigh that he was trying to get to his mother's house for easter dinner. bus driver (i guess he was just doing his job) politely refused. as the bus was driving past the gent short of bus fare, the two churchgoers started their heartless banter:
"The nerve of some people! Trying to get a free ride! When will people learn...."
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg this made me so mad. if i was fast on my feet (& thinking straight) when the gent had been denied a ride, i would have hopped up and thrown a twoonie into the fare-box and given the poor dude a break on EASTER SUNDAY of all days. but instead, i had to endure the remainder of the ride listening to two heartless STINKERS who ranted on and on about how people try to "cheat the system" and get "something for nothing"...

the sad truth. there will always be homeless people who might need a break once in a while. even sadder truth? there will always be smelly heartless people who think they are a touch above the rest because they've been blessed with endless access to bus fare.
