Rupeys Sob Story

if by chance you watched rupey testify today
& you were in any way led to feel sorry for this
seemingly decrepit, senile &
vulnerable looking old tyrant who 
babbled through the statement of his
“innocence,”
pausing after every other question to have it 
repeated, as if he couldn’t hear it,
laughing like a stereotypical general store owner 
in some canceled, black & white program from the
50’s,
while often allowing his son to answer for him,
as if he was not the “13th most powerful person in the world”
& “the 117th wealthiest,”
whose newspaper deleted voicemail messages left by family members
in the wake of a murdered 13 year old girl in order to get a
story---
well, 
one can assume then that
you are the dumbest person alive & 
you should be fed strained carrots for the rest of your life 
through a feeding tube 
while you
play with stuffed animals & eat ding dongs all day.
