We questioned him hard,

hammered him

watched him break into a thousand pieces and

shards.

Then he gave us what we wanted.

* * *

He begged and cried.

that's one of their tricks to try to make us stop,

nice try!!

* * *

We warned them all, fuck around and find out.

now he's been fucked around.

* * *

We did it to teach them all, to revenge our dead,

we enjoyed it to that end.

* * *

Anyway, it's not gay

to fuck an animal.

* * *

Looking at him makes me sick, how could a man fall so low?

This is all on him, and his terrorist friends.

* * *

We’re the good guys,

thank _Hashem_.
