To The Punks, Heartbreakers, Liars, Etc. Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

I heard a man
From the background
As I was slowly relishing
Upon my cigarette
With lips ajar,

“Be careful with what
You wish for, punk.”

And the man said it
With such angst
And robustness that
The receiver of the
Stifles knelt in fear.

This is what they deserve.
Those little punks
Who think they’re invincible
Who think they’re unfathomably
Infinite
When they’re just pitiful
Little pests
Who suck the blood out of
Tender things

Who ruin things for
Good people.

These arrogant punks
Who mean nothing
Beautiful you are,
God-curvy woman you are,

Handsome man you are,
I’d give no care

Because if I put
These little punks
In a cage,
Then what a riotous
Bestiary
It would be.

To all the punks,
The heartbreakers,
The liars,
The blasphemers,
To everyone
Who think and speak
Highly of themselves,

Be careful with what you
Wish for, punks.

You just might get it.
