it's so
funny how you
throw words
around like they're
oh so light but
they're heavy
oh so
very heavy just
like your
sins and
when
you talk
i see
you see
i listen
you watch
i feel
you don't
feel
you make
others feel
bad about
themselves and
others when really
you're the
snake in
their garden
wild
animals like
you should
be kept
caged
in their
own walls
that they
build around
others but
you fool
you really
don't know
this is
inception
you do
this to
yourself
stop
doing this
to others
consider it
a warning
a flash
sign a
big ugly
(like you)
sign saying
be-war-e
this is
war and we
bring the rain
down on our
enemies
not the
occasional scatter
because you
will destroy
are destroying
yourself doing
this
you think
it's a
cardboard box
safe and sound
oh so strong
but it
has precious stuff
inside
unlike you
who can't make
out the
difference between
ordinary or
extraordinary
we do know
that
we know the
differences so
trust us
when we say
handle this
box with
absolute care
although you're
incapable of
kindness but
you must try
because it
has precious
stuff inside
it matters unlike
you
so handle
it with gentleness
don't mess with
that thing or
you won't
be able
to out yours
all hell
will break
loose
so
handle with
care
because oh look
it says
FRAGILE
and oh no
for
heaven's sake
you insolent fool
you just
dropped
it
oops
