What is your Problem

Who wants a rapist as a neighbor?

Does a thief make a good friend?

Do you trust a murderer?

How did this crap begin?

What does it mean

when nasty names you call?

If you don’t like something

why don’t you vote to change the law?

Just where do you stand?

Prove that good has been hurt.

What is your demand

to release evil on the earth?

When you are bad and act out

why shouldn’t I just ignore your fit.

When you scream and shout

no one listens to your shit.

Why do you do evil deeds?

Why support chaos?

In a land where we were freed

Can you explain your lost?

I can see you are upset,

but we must defeat the bad.

Stop doing things that you’ll regret,

because you got mad.
