Analysis of Need Some Help
James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)
Need Some Help
I need some help.
Can you help me please?
Ha! Ha! Ha!
If I was Jesus Christ or Allah
would you then help me please?
So when you decide to
kick a dog,
kill a cat,
spit in the face of a Vet
or bomb innocent people yet....
Remember maybe you and God
need a serious chit chat
before someone kicks you
and your friends too,
plus spit in your faces,
bomb your places
to eliminate all the devil's faces.
Then you may ask for Help!
