Him

how can you compete with the bible
the best book ever written for you to figure
as I talk with my neighbor Philip
selling his property I told him
I am glad to see you go
and he told me I am trying to rein my anger
as his wife took a slap across her face.
and me gentle never called the cops on them.

but for sure the light was blinking on number nights
and never told my stories of abuse from the guy.
my car bumped in purpose 
too white for you as you took the place of three
and finally you apologize to me good by and good riddance
my basement is happy to see you out
as a flood not welcome from your roof ********
why the battle tell me the chapter.
