Dear Packers,

You are bigtime winners they are bigtime loosers.

You have achieved what they can't comprehend.

You have your heart, mind and soul. They have little if any.

You are recognized by the depth of your beauty. They by their infinite ugliness.

You know what kind of people will respect you, they get none.

Compare the pain you have healed from, with the pain they don't even know they are suffering from.

I pity them, I hold you in high esteem.
