sledgehammer's song

by Antwan Fields - Aries

i look into the eyes of the offender and smile when i think of the damage that is coming to him
i think ill strike his kneecap first 
break him into pieces, injure him and crush his hope 
the korean store clerk who watches ME  while others rob him blind?
i laugh to myself: your prejudice will get you beaten until you can;t stand
with a sledgehammer; drop you down i scream my fury and laugh at the same time, for i have damaged your mind
which i should not have done
the driver who nearly ran me down? nice hole in his windshield and i laugh manialcally as i do so, 
the people who laugh as i walk by and chant "faggot, faggot?
i wear that with pride, but when you raise your hand i break it with a sharp blow
the evil i see? i may be it 
but you brought it to this, can't you see
but when i begin to see what has been unjustly given to me even though i don't want it 
you have made the sledgehammer sing, and its song is nice and loud and violent
even as people pull me away i laugh
and laugh
and laugh
and laugh
and laugh till tears are rolling down my face...
