Stop the Dim View

“Stop having
Such a dim view
Of the world”
She said to me

So I tried
And
Tried
And
Tried

But after witnessing
One guy
Dropkick another
Halfway across
The road

And
After seeing
A women
Taking a shit
In the street
While people observed

And watching the scene
As a girl
Was hit
in the face
By an angry crowd
who did
their very best
to stop
her from retrieving
her snatched
bag

I said:

“Fuck it; I was right
all along.”
