Can't Wash it Away

I really hate a lot of people right now

Thirty times a day, I wash my hands

But still they are stained red

And I’m afraid the cops will notice

Because I killed you dead

Then they’ll have to ask

“Why did you kill this man?”

I will tell them as simply as I can:

I didn’t like the way he breathed

I didn’t like the way he talked

I didn’t like the way he acted

I didn’t like the way he walked

“Neither did people all over the world” they’ll say

“And none of them took to murder

So now we must lock you away.”

But they won’t and they can’t

They’ll never catch me

I’ll murder them like I murdered you

And the world will be happy

Because they were annoying too

And I will never wash this blood off my hands

Author's Note

Admit it. We all know someone we think the world will be better off without if we kill them.......or is that just me?
