A Wild Temper

a wild temper separated her from the pack a wild temper got her thrown out of school a wild temper got her taken into custody a wild temper made her stand in front of the judge a wild temper sent her back into the streets a wild temper put another in the hospital (vital signs are not looking good) a wild temper brought her back into custody a wild temper showed up in court with a smile on its face a wild temper left her in that court & brought with it into jail a new sense of freedom a wild temper didn’t make her friends in jail (but it didn’t make her enemies) a wild temper got to stay as long as the sentence demanded a wild temper went back into the streets a wild temper didn’t get a job because kissing customer ass wasn’t on the agenda a wild temper brought down to the pavement the head of a “peacefully racist” slur-hurler a wild temper was wrestled to the ground a few blocks away after a quick dash away a wild temper into custody again got knocked around a few times & fondled by piggies a wild temper stood trial for the death of the slur-hurler a wild temper got the book thrown at it a wild temper sat on death row with no one to tame it or bother asking how it was doing a wild temper got pumped of lethal poison in a land that throws its temper, anger & might all over the world (pounding others into oblivion) a wild temper, they say now after the fact, was a flaw that could have been worked on, had someone paid attention to her prior to its taking over.
