How To Kill A Soul
How To Kill A Soul
Start with false assertion
Lie right to his face
Listen to his heart’s desire
His weakness is your mace
Take his every nuance
Put it on display
Tell him that he’s stupid
While you laugh at his dismay
With everything he shares
Assure him confidence
Then take it to his bane
As he stands in your defense
Conspire and deceive
Leave no security
He deserves it surely
For his misplaced loyalty
His children are not sacred
On them it’s open season
Hurt them if you can
Entertainment is good reason
And when you have succeeded
His spirit broken in defeat
Join your friends in celebration
On the porch you find your seat
Be proud of what you’ve done
Have yourself a time
Blame him for it all
Sweet success is too sublime
And when you tell the tale
While you laugh at his defeat
Be sure you toast each other
In victory complete
