Abused

ABUSED

I beat up a bottle of 
sprite the other day,
No one complained
They just said “oh what a 
shame”
like bro that was lame
Pick up a pad—let’s play a 
game
It’s called puff puff pass
The winner gets chemo 
and a transplant in the end
and If you’re lucky—
the bonus is you get to 
bury a friend

Un-amused I said
I’ll skip the puffing and 
pass
I felt abused but alas
I heard a bottle, cry out 
loud
and in no doubt proud
I saw a man strangle it
Foaming at the tip,
The man now guzzling it—
Its insides were thrown 
into a pit
I stood there helpless and 
ashamed
and I’m not proud to say
I witnessed a murder that 
day.
