Burning Souls

Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)



Who threw dirt in the atmosphere?
You...
Turned peace evil.
And who came along to threat with fear?
You...
Turned peace evil.

Who messed up all relationships?
Just to have an attention to get.
And now that you have it you can't quit,
Doing more of your stupid 'stuff.
Making everybody to want to throw up.

You,
Need to go...
Where the heat burns a hole in your soul.

Yes you,
Need to go and disappear...
Until your cold butt turns to gold.
And found to feed the people needy,
Now!

Leave and take your evil with you now.
To burn.
Leave and take your evil with you now!
