Dirty Celebration

Their victorious voice peal:
“We’ve grandly struck a deal!   
In many ways now real 
And worth a struck whisky seal!” 

But their joy others don’t feel,
Dead sure that they often steal 
And wounds inflict that don’t heal;
Victims prayer: his skin doesn’t peel
The worst of them, their O’Neil 
Violence long the ticket for a meal,
And a means of arousing zeal.
