The Tale of Muchacho 2
And the second reason he laughed
The reason for his scornful laughter
Was that as soon as he breathed his last
His boys were gonna come in
And probably butcher her to death.
That was his way of life
The path he chose
He had no problems with it
He didn’t mind
Taking someone to hell with him
Maybe even God would be happy with her
And take it lightly on him
Coz there was no redemption
He knew that as soon as he kicked the bucket
God would send him straight to hell
The devil himself
Would personally welcome him
With open arms
And take him on a tour
Of the 13 chambers of hell
Not bad,
He thought to himself
For a man who had shown others
More than 13 cambers of his hell
But believe it or not
He was content
But not happy
Happiness was too far fetched
He was cursed
He was condemned
He couldn’t remember anytime
That he had been truly happy
He lived life on the edge
Continually testing the boundaries
Of God’s patience.
