Clip Him, Woman
The following may prove violent
Liberal thinkers beware
Champions of tolerance and
Laissez faire.
You see no need for rules
No measure certain now
Just see how things evolve
Good enough you vow…
So I am in a Rexall drug store
Lineup to cash
Two women struggling
Six year old brat.
Wants some dumb curio.
Gramma might bend.
Mother stuck mid-stream
Yowling never ends.
I want it. i want it.
Why won’t yo..uuh buy?
Kid hyper-ventilates
Same time he cries.
Older woman next to me
Rolls her eyes sad.
I say I’d need three seconds.
Clip out the bad.
Did Mother hear my rant.
Nothing I feel
Time short to cut the crap.
Prison is real.
