Kill the bastard
you know you want to
just aim your pistol
pull the trigger
and shoot him in the face
after all you wanted to kill him anyway.
You’ll only spend 20 years (or maybe more)
sitting in your little jail cell
getting three square
meals
a day
getting to read, write,
exercise,
and live your life
while the bastard
you shot
and
killed no longer has one.
But hey that’s fair I guess
after all
he pissed you off
and he deserved
what he got.
Well buddy welcome to the crossroads
where lying gets you nowhere
they don’t believe your lies
like the guards who pity you
or the judge who sentanced you
or the jury that found you guilty.
All they did was slapped you on your
wrists
and told you never to do it again.
I doubt you’ll listen though
most murderers that get out
kill again.
What happens to them
they just get slapped on the wrists
again, and this time
they get a finger shook at them
along with a scold.
But these people
your now dealing with
they pick at your
mind, never leaving it alone,
manipulating you
silently driving you insane.
So when your on your way
to the loony bin
wearing a straight jacket
and sitting in a padded room
so you won’t hurt yourself
or others
think about that
poor bastard
you murdered
because he got in your way.
Think of how
your still breathing
and he is not.
Do you still think
you deserve to live?
Do you still think
he deserved to die?
