I Cannot Breathe -Scuffled

I cannot breathe -scuffled I cannot breathe -scuffled Poisoned hearts muffled I ruminate like Moose Drink ale like goose Hair flies ruffled. Come out from your skin Put life-butts in bin We are slopping slobs Measure life in blobs There is no west Berlin A loud whistle- do something A bullet striking metal-ping One and twos Get out of noose Be a Krishna with fire ring I believe that a person who works, acts, speaks, in a negligent, slipshod manner is a dangerous person. They are slovenly, indifferent to their duties and are just like hogs. They squeal under butcher's hatchet. I have seen them from close quarters. They utter big words but are cowed down to minnows.
