Division Of Neighbor

‘Hey stomach,’ says anus, ‘Would you cut the crap.’ “It’s not me,’ stomach says; ‘I won’t take the wrap. It’s what they’re eating, So blame teeth and mouth. I’m innocent,’ says stomach, ‘For that filth down south.’ Brain has a good laugh At organ expenses, By prodding infighting Over false offenses. ‘Are you kidding me, You two dumb kidneys. Always a teamed pair For a fight that’s not fair!’ Roared livid liver Who was hardly pleased, That they blamed him For the smelly feces. ‘Oh stop it now, liver Just sit there and filter. We said no such thing; Don’t get out of kilter.’ ‘Tee-he-he,’ laughs brain. My plan’s working well, To keep each organ At odds over a smell, That they have no power To change or repair, And since they can’t think They’ll stay unaware.’ Hands and mouth kept Eating junk by the hour. Having been brainwashed, They blindly devour. Long ago brain trained eyes To focus on the news, Now it was time for all Parts, to pay ‘their’ dues. Bones pipe up, and say, ‘Something doesn’t feel right, Hey muscles loosen up; Why do you squeeze so tight?’ Muscles answer and say, ‘Colon and intestines Are the guilty squeezers, Causing congestion. I’m just doing my part At the request of the brain.’ ‘But muscles,’ says bones, ‘It’s causing me pain.’ And after a while Brain has all body parts, At odds with themselves; Over endless bad farts. Organs, blood, and guts Could not get along; They once did their jobs Keeping the body strong. But brain has the answer, ‘Let’s vote on what to do. Either I run the show, Or you deal with bad poo!’ Yes, brain got them quibbling And each held a grudge. All based on false info That made brain, ‘King Judge’. So each part gave in To that sneaky design, And waited for orders From brain to assign. But brain was a liar And steered organs wrong. The body collapsed; It didn’t take long. Just like brain, most statesmen, Fool us like we’re tarts. Let’s not die for their lies, But stay whole, not apart.
