Papers
Honorable discharge
Serial killers some serial rapers
Thanx for the fun sarge
Heroin pulsating
All the while hating
Everything about everything
And survival
Has no rival
Except those who persist
And reenlist
And if I didn’t give a damn
I would not be writing
I would not find it exciting
To lay my treasures at your feet
Delicate and sweet
My dear madam
Take your wars
Cold and hot
All your scores
Never forgot
Write them in a big black book
Bury them in Egypt or Saigon
Then dig em up to take a look
And see what’s going on
