Cupcake
Alliston G. Samuel 1976 (Port-of-Spain)
Hey there burn!
Shocked to see me now?
That paperback must have missed you.
This ones to show you how:
You do not screw with [my emotions].
Wow! That one got you where it hurts?
Look what this leaf can do:
See? Got you verse, by verse.
Swear; ya'll so special.
Even got yourself a crowd.
They did not know 'bout you though.
Hot blood coming out your back.
"We take everything"
So claimed your host.
Well, you sure taking it now
Yeah, this cut is your curse.
You know you did worse than that.
It will cost ya'll.
As for me?
A billion and more pieces; carved into a cupcake's dome.
