He knocked those boys down off their skinny
feet.
Their smelly guts ascended through the
air
as colorful fireworks. Mister Bad was a
muscular,
and coal skinned Negro
man.
Now Mr. Bad was not bad on his
own,
But from a sad and uncaring
Mama.
Some say he was cool always
protecting
the pretty girls on our rough
block, others
Would say he was such an adoring
fool
Because he never thought about his own
life.
His ending, though, was he never failed
in
Burying these unthoughtful boys in
deep
Muddy holes, bruised, entwined, cold and
Naked.
