Analysis of WHAT THE WORLD DESERVES



wouldn't be appropriate
if the world were allowed
to continue with its'
sitting -

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 -

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 -

one of those

christian
twisted
wrist
wringings

and
hung out to dry -

accidental
but intentional burnings
from one of my mommas'
auntie minnie's
