I was teased in high school
A girly boy kids called me
I wasn’t as masculine
As my peers and was
A good but weak kid
A skinny teen by nature
I was easy prey for bullies
Graduated from high school
Got a job in a retail store
Worked out at a gym
Didn’t like lifting weights
Felt like I was still a sissy
Found the ultimate fix
Joined the elite Marines
To become a macho man
Six months later killed in Nam
Came home in a bodybag

She lived a decent life
Worked hard in high school
Graduated with honors
Attended college
Got a teaching degree
Taught tenth grade
Won awards for her work
Loved by her students
Praised by staff members
In prison today
A sex offender
One of her students

At 52 found the love of my life.
My soulmate forever!
Finally fate had smiled on me.
Never had I been so happy!
The wedding pure bliss, the kiss divine.
A week later the police knocked on our door
And took the love of my life, my soulmate away
And charged her with poisoning her last 4 husbands to death.

It used to be dead men told no tales
Now with DNA they’re singing like birds
A small time Mafioso I bumped off
Broke the Omerta Code after I killed him
Ratted me out to the cops like a traitor
To our sacred Mafia oaths and principles
I should have known no good rat he was
That he’d find one last way to rat me out
After I buried his body in a national park
And a park ranger said he found the body
When that stool pigeon appeared to him
In a dream where I buried him in the park
With my telltale DNA all over his dead body

Nukes falling
People screaming
People crying
Populations dying
Insane world
Up in flames
The rich
The poor
The races
All killed
Inclusivity
Nukes
Always
Politically
Correct

Christians floating to heaven
Out of cars off of streets.
Nonbelievers screwed;
No hope for them.
We got ours, too bad for you.
Sinners all, no time or hope for you.
Serves you right for not following us.
See ya wouldn’t want to be ya.

He adopted a dog called Peanut Head
despite disliking the unflattering name.
He tried to change his name to Rex,
but Peanut Head wasn’t having it.
He only answered to Peanut Head.
Then he tried to bribe him to respond
to a new more regal name, Prince
by calling him Prince with treats.
But Peanut Head, way too smart,
disdained the name and the treats.
So Peanut Head kept his name.
And despite the silly name, was
the best dog he ever had.

She fooled him and controlled him
Cut him off from friends and family,
Like a controlling man with a woman.
Too love stricken, he didn’t protest,
And with her encouragement,
He defamed and lied about his kin,
When she sucked his life out of him,
She left him for a wealthier man.
And left him friendless and familyless,
And used up, a manipulated, lovesick fool.

Patrick decided to become a seeker
He wanted to know the truth
Whatever that was
He found the way in a cult
Gave all his money to it
Instead of finding the truth
Became mindless and soulless
Bob Boyd
She said she didn’t need me anymore
I hoped she meant it this time
Tired of the endless break ups and make ups
Too weak to just let go of her
A day later she needed me again per usual
Thought about finding another woman
But didn’t have the heart to hurt her
So I hurt myself by staying with her
Bob Boyd
