I

You can be as cruel as I, or so they say,

Pouring sand like fire on your victim.

A buck-toothed brunette, what choice did you have?

You are no noble but a unformed man.

And when she screams and kicks I think you feel,

Mounting adrenaline and pounding heart.

I need not perform any dissections,

You know this to be true, and what is more,

Those things that you grow into do the same.

II

This, I hope, is the final word in the:

Savagery of youth. It is, but grows.

III

You goose-stepping monster, puffed up brute,

Whose extent of self-reflection is pride,

Self-love beyond all means, and you model,

all after yourself and FIND ALL LACKING

IV

This, I hope, is the final word about,

A Child's Play. Perfected by mere dogs.
