Slayer Sucks (Free verse) by peaceseeker behind the slayer tour buses
two males and one female
a drunken girlfriend moaning
"hey!" I yelled and crossed the
busy two lane street after I
saw him hit her head on a wall
"can I talk to her?" I asked
he said "please, do go ahead"
she quickly attached herself
to my arm and I led her away
past police cars on the side
of the street and he followed
I said "he hurts you, doesn't he?"
she said "we live two hours
away and I hooked him and his
friends up with beer and tickets
but nothing ever makes him happy."
standing next to me with his
fingers pointed at my belly
like a gun with eyes bulging
he turned his indignance on me
"this ain't your business" and
"you don't know what's going on"
and "you just took her side"
I asked her if she was safe
and she said "yes" and I tried
to explain to him that this is
what females do for one another
but I had to leave then
for all the yelling and
unpredictability
as much as I dislike the police
I wish I had led her straight
to a police cruiser.

Sounds like you missed a wonderful opportunity to corn hole a corn hole.
I saw Slayer in Lon-Don during the summer. Afterwards, I witnessed a young South American man excitedly shaking his friend and shouting about how ace he thought the concert was. That cancels out all the dullards, dunces, posers, buncombes, oldsters, youngsters, hipsters, holsters, s'mores and sega rallys that you may have encountered.
Look, I can see where you're coming from. However, you have to take into account the fact that people can change. If nothing else, Kerry King has sprouted a most venerable beard in the years since the terrible travesties of which you speak, and I think this should be held in his favour. And that is to say nothing of his stately beer-belly.
In some ways I agree; Of course, the members of the orchestral group, Slayer, should never have allowed the young men in question to make unbecoming comments in the vicinity of their roving omnibus. Nonetheless, surely they must still be allowed the rein to express themselves? Are we to ban all art because of this indiscretion? Of course not; freedom to express one's self is paramount in a forward thinking society. I disparove of the police as well, especially the way they try to prevent crimes. But then that's just one of things you have to try to live with. Life's like that, you know?
A social worker, even off the clock.
A 10 simply for the title (and the poem's not bad either. Slayer does suck.
