Bin Laden Ruined My Credit

you miserable bastard.
this was a personal attack on 
all of our lives
how can anyone say this 
isn’t affecting us?
its pretty fucking obvious to me
the bills were pilling up on my 
porcelain counter,
and my pay checks were in washington d.c.
my fellow americans
hear my cry.
there has been a huge impact,
bigger than the atomic blast 
that made the skin drip off 
of 500,000+ Jap bodies, 
70,000 Koreans
X number of side-lined soldiers
and whoever else.
no,
this was big,
he knocked out my twin towers
of perfect credit checks.
I need my cash off of those 
god
damned
run
ways.
the casualties of this cruel,
cold war, 
the innocent victims had their lives
snatched like a rabbit out of the hat.
the families
the poor families
could you imagine how much
a decent burial
must cost?
