“you keep me wide awake and waiting for the sun”

I had such a strange afternoon today. well, i went to eastwood with lia after school, with all my bags and everything, ready to go to Dad's.
We got $1 ice creams from an asian shop, and we sat and talked about things :)
We were sitting on our usual ledge-y thing, when out of the corner of my eye, i saw a pigeon on the pathway, just sitting down. I thought it was vaguely amusing to see a bird sitting on the ground, rather than in the air or in a tree or something - so i went and took a photo of it :) caption: "just chilling"
but it actually wasn't funny at all ):
The bird was really injured. It looked like a magpie or some other beast had attacked it. Its right wing was all skewed and when it tried to walk, it really couldn't and so it had to sit back down again. where it's wing exposed its skin on its back, it was a pinky/red colour. it was so terrible.
lia and i really didn't know what to do.
but you know what the worst part is? a fucking evil asian woman walked by the pigeon..and kicked it. WHAT THE FUCK BRU?! it was HURT! ON THE GROUND! and you FUCKING KICK IT. we were both really enraged and wanted to run after the fucking bastard. bitch. and then three schoolgirls walked past, and one of them noticed the bird and said "why don't we just kill it, to stop it from anymore pain."
-____-
i can't even. fucking hell.
what is wrong with the world? why can't you just leave it alone, or help it? WHY DO YOU WANT TO KICK, or "better yet" KILL INNOCENT ANIMALS? i was getting really upset, and lia almost started crying. she raged at another woman in Mando, who was just about to touch the bird too.
we thought that maybe we could lure the bird to stand up, with some food. but a) we had no food. and b) it would probably cause it more pain.
lia wanted to make a barrier around it saying "DND. FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE" but we didn't. in the end, she called three animal care organisations. who all said that they only care for native animals or wildlife, or "special crested pigeons"...isn't that racist or something?
what is with this world?
i'm really over it.
just die. not the pigeon. us humans.
