Evil can Retire


Lazy days and dogs that won't stir,

I hope you're happy

I hope that you're

Sincerly relaxed and seriously invested

In the ethical victories over those you've bested.

 

I bet it's great to retire and

Look back at your life.

I bet you don't even miss having kids or a wife.

Maybe this time in the quiet is what you need

To tally your sins and all your good deeds,

But if you feel like you've wasted the

Years

doing wrong then

I hope you and your conscience

Can both get along.
