Honorable Men

A Poem

Honorable Men

Left and right

Twix snaps softer than spines

Elephants are cowards

Donkeys are asses

So why be animals?

Left and right

The will of God

Destiny manifested?

We only do what we know

Morals be damned

Left and right

And left again

But what comes after

I don’t wanna go

Right, left, right, left

Right, left, right, left

Fucking stop!

Black, black, black, black

Black, black, black, black

Black, black, black, black

Back, back, back, back

Then fade to white
