WHAT THE WORLD DESERVES
it
wouldn't be appropriate
if the world were allowed
to continue with its'
sitting -
dangling
and hanging out up high
all night with the
stars -
it would be fit -
proper
and well deserved
if it were to be found guilty
and convicted -
having to serve
multiple
life sentences
without the slightest possibility of parole behind
bars
amongst the lowlifes
and scumbags - the
hear no evils' - see no evils' and speak no evils' - while
it gets played daily
by the three card molly
hustlers -
or
used
abused
and
molested like a young boy
found stowed away below
deck
in the bowels
of a pirates' ship then
sold to the highest bidder
for a measly
doubloon -
it deserves
to spend whatever's left
of its'natural life behind the
welded doors of windowless
rooms to hopscotch and
patty-cake with the anti
sociables -
the non
negotiables -
the mental
and criminal insane and
a thorough brain
washing -
then
one of those
tight
christian
twisted
wrist
wringings
and
hung out to dry -
afterwards
accidental
but intentional burnings
from one of my mommas'
auntie minnie's
scorching
hot
stove top
irons -
