Hapless Collapse
Spring necked victim
Will be decked again
For pure amusement
Of fast pummelling fists
Layered bruise symptoms
Display punching bag pain
No retaliation movement
While heavy assault persists
Swung away, come back
For more of life's abuse
Copping it on the chin
Brings rhythm of survival
Waiting for following whack
Knuckle impact profuse
Tenderised gums begin
To resettle sidewards
Jutted out awkwardly
Jaw a crooked angle
Punished and punched up
Laughs with sinister taint
Prospect guaged morbidly
From unwieldy wrangle
Sippping from near empty cup
Limping with wounded gait
Fractured face suffers
Receipt of endless blows
Dislodged red teeth spat
Are metallic meant to be
True opinions muffled
Turn other cheek advice goes
Superbly for great diplomat
- For irate me, dismally
