Good Boy too

He’s not really naughty,Just misunderstoodSlightly disturbedWith potential for good His intelligence isSurely withoutAny uncertaintyQuestion or doubt Higher than many,But let me stateHe doesn’t possessAny malice or hate He just doesn’t knowThat he’s done badDon’t know he killedHis Mom and his Dad We’ll lock him awayFor the rest of his lifeHe’ll never have familyKids or a wife He’ll stay locked awayInstitutionalisedHe’ll stay locked awayTill the day that he dies

Gritty and Hard! I Love it!

Yowsers! Now that's what I call writing! Excellent, dark, subject-matter, coupled with wry humor and a tongue-in-cheek style that blows one away! Kudos!
