It Takes a Village To Raise An Idiot

Killers will kill stoners will slide on the high hookers will hook trapping coins between sticky thighs- Preachers will preach to husbands and wives then swallow the piss of their own muddy lies- The rapist will rape the covenant will give at times its hard to make out which is the lamb and which is the pig- Gods will guide and judge from afar presidents will pickle men then place them in jars- The idiot swallows his own ramblings the lush roots for bottles of peace despite everything-time keeps sprinting weather you sip the blood of Christ. or swig down a ninety-proof drink.
