A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

tiny overcompensating man begging to be slapped

"
children play games
trying to emulate the work of a man
little men do the same thing
puffing up their chest
trying to prove themselves harder than most
its a sad affair and its pathetic
you aren't earning any respect
you're just making everyone roll their eyes at you
those who resemble children will be treated like children
when they act like children
don't force my hand
and get upset when its time to pay the consequences
don't prod at a bomb
and cry 'woe is me' when it goes off in your face
don't raise your hand
to a dog that's been beaten
cause when you are forced to comply with the laws of nature
survival of the fittest will come into play
and the little man trying to wear a big mans shoe
will be swallowed whole
word of the wise
know when you shut your mouth
you may feel like you've been to dark places
but i will show you darkness where nothing grows
i will show you the distance
where friend or foe is no longer a distinction
where madness and chaos are the only law
and when i am picking my teeth with your bones
i will feel nothing
