The La cosa nostra and Me

the sheer notion of extorted kindness 
buried beneath a sorrowful note 

of racketeering compassion 
above a silent whisper throughout 

the queerness of being wise beyond 
a tarnished silver spoon of tangible 

lessons shattered throughout 
blind faith cringing for life after death
