To Prick The Festering Boil

Two Drunks Coming

Two Drunks Coming
look out everybody
two drunks coming
towing a big RV
down a road near you
searching for people
to drink with and lie to
never looking back
at the movie
of all they destroyed

two drunks
somehow motivated
to hurt children
at their leisure
between drinks
without a care
then wave bye bye
two sad people
broken and limited
without conscience
or humanity
or ability to love
not even each other

two drunks
with no boundaries
no white lines
no true north compass
miserable
together or alone
pretending
because they don’t know
how else to behave
two drunks on the road
escaping reality
while innocents struggle
in the rearview

look out everybody
two drunks coming
and they don’t
have a care in the world
