people worship gangsters

because they haven't the courage

to stand on their own conviction

or fight if their integrity is challenged


and since every person thinks

he's a law onto himself

the strong will engage to the death

while the weak imagine themselves strong


with clenched fists and teeth...

cop or criminal...rich pig or manipulative poor...

from the highest and most to the lowest and least

tyranny is all that is respected and coveted...thus


people worship gangsters

that is to say...themselves....
