The Passion of the Cockroach
The Passion of the Cockroch
Clark Steven Lupton
2004
I stepped on a cockroach
But it was not dead
So I hit it with a chair leg
And cut off its head
It's legs still kicked
The antennae twitched
It was still alive
I'm glad our souls weren't switched
I turned it up
To see where it would go
To see if it would escape
And crawl to and fro
To say I cared a little
Isn't a lie
It crawled for 5 minutes
And still wouldn't die
The antennae stopped moving
The body was at rest
But somehow it was still alive
To kill it would be best
But I don't want to kill it
My feelings for it are few
I may not want it to suffer,
But I also don't want it under my shoe.
This is a true story
Its head was truly sliced
But if you don't like something suffering
Then don't watch the Passion of the Christ
