afterward, he’ll be wiser

On the balcony, I take a deep breath and take a sip of beer in the evening sun The neighbor’s son is being mean again—he’s kicking and playing soccer like crazy right outside their door... I assume he’s tired of his own life and is waiting for his reward Like a dog that, despite being trained wrong, still always wants a treat Yes, he’ll become a mastiff that wants to be rewarded for killing His “Dark Honor” be His impending downfall already speaks volumes It’s too sad that he was trained so poorly just to fight against his true parental authority without seeing what he could do better otherwise But afterward, he’ll be wiser afterward, he’ll be wiser afterward, he’ll regret it.
