The Bad, the Ugly, and the Good

The Bad, The Ugly and The Good (aka: Bad, Badder, Baddest) The Bad I am the gun-toting, God-fearing Ganja Gangsta. I’ll smoke you, pray for you, then have my daily siesta! I answer to no one, and fear no man; No Sir!!! I answer to only One Master. That’s Heaven’s Prime Minister. I am the player-hating, man-baiting Sister Disaster. I’ll woo you, thrill you, then …kill you; true that, mister! I just swagger thru the city with my ‘Ghetto Blaster’, I don’t mean sounds, fool!!! I mean my ‘piece’ … to blast ya!!! I am the mean-looking, menacing Monster Mobster. I’ll cut ya, shred ya, and have me a pasta fiesta. I do not boil ‘em…! No sah!! I’d eat a live lobster! I’m so mean ….Hey! ..I’ll even steamroller your hamster!!! I am the fast-talking, Bible-bashing Pastor Imposter. I’ll bless you, fleece you, then sex-up Sister Disaster I’m just a shyster - but please don’t tell the Menacing Mobster! She’s the God-fearing Gangsta’s wife - and the Mobster’s sister! The Ugly (Badder) I am the flesh-eating, life-sapping, Cluster-Sinister. I am impartial; care not for class, colour, creed or gender. I am microbe, but not a person-respecter; ask the sex inspector. I am sorry, but for me to survive, you have to become a spectre. I am the tear-jerking, game-changing, people-Prankster I get called ‘*****’, ‘Sod’, …some even call me a ‘Mater-Conjugator’. I don’t like Gangsters, Mobsters and especially that dodgy Pastor I may get mad, or even get even; Call me ‘Life’, or call me ‘Karma’. The Good (Baddest) I am the Beginning, the Alpha/Omega; Heaven’s only Prime Minister I wrote the Good Book, but look inside, I have never been a Jester! I carry fire and brimstone to bolster my holster - you’d better helter-skelter! I mete out justice, and vengeance administer: you'd better pray faster!!! (Fg 81.5.8 - January 2016)
