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.
