'Get-That-Thing-On-The-Victim' Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Who cares which one is better suited...
Has more stage presence,
And is preferred to apply a much needed touniqet?

The victim has been sedated!
Medicated for years.
And has been in a failing state of delusion!

The blood once dripping.
From a scratch denied that was done...
Has begun to gush!

Life and the quality of it...
Slips from the unconscious lips,
Of this patient!

Who cares which one is better suited...
Has more stage presence,
And is preferred to apply a much needed touniqet?

Who gives a flippidy doo da dee...
Whether he is black with a Harvard degree!
Or she is white?
An ex-president's wife.
And might wear combat boots in her bedroom?

'Get-that-thing-on-the-victim'

Already the smell and stench of it...
Has reached the streets!
