If The Devil Has All The Best Tunes
How Do You Explain Marilyn Manson?
Marilyn Manson and the wife-beating tragedy that is George Jones.
George Jones has taken more drugs than Marilyn Manson can dream of.
George Jones has pissed away more drink than Marilyn Manson will imbibe in his life.
Not only that, when his wife threw away his car keys to stop him getting more booze,
George drove off to get some on his lawnmower pursued by law enforcement officers.
Further, George Jones CAN sing, is better dressed, and fears the Lord.
Amen.
This Poem
Considerably Shorter
Than 15 Minutes
Andy warhol was an arse.
His most valuable paintings
Are those flecked with blood
And punctured with bullet holes
From when he was shot,
In the arse.
I don't know much about art,
But I know what I like.
In Praise Of Hiroo Onada
In the jungles of romantic endeavours
I am a lost command Japanese sniper
Still fighting the Second World War
Phillipines, 1974
Focused
Disciplined
Making an excellent job of it
But wrong
       Wrong
         Wrong
