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.
