Sprouting Screams

Sprouting Screams

They just changed the channel
from a show you were watching,
regardless of you being there,
So you killed them all dead
inside of your head,
then you walked away with a smile;
The implications are serious,
that you're simply too stupid,
not worth hearing what you have to say,
So you killed them all dead
inside of your head,
and again you just walked away.
This time they did it:
it's going to cost them their lives,
barging in front everyone,
So you killed them all dead
inside of your head,
then walked to the back of the line.
Boy they're in trouble,
in very big trouble,
calling you queer to your face!
So you killed them all dead
inside of your head,
of course you again walked away.
Now it's for certain,
they're calling for curtains
by saying you stole it from them!
A poem you’d written,
and they barely literate
yet claiming they wrote it themselves!
So stinging in shame
you attacked the main blame,
sprouting screams now instead of offense
Your weapon your fury
you killed him in theory
as usual, inside of your head,
But while walking away
they rushed you with chains,
telling you someone was dead!
But you would not believe it,
just could not believe it
that you made such a stupid mistake,
And you tried to explain it
but they WOULD NOT listen;
for some reason they wouldn't see,
So you killed them all dead
inside of your head,
though you'll be careful
from now on,
When you're thinking .....
