Hands Off, by Frederic Remington

Robert L. Martin

Fester Man

Fester Man
 
The surface is quiet and tranquil
As melodious as a murmuring brook
As peaceful as a sleeping dove
A glowing smile for all humanity
For life is a congenial, cozy nest
 
The surface is firm but also leaky
Oppression seeps through the pores
Down the spine and into the soul
A subdued retaliation is forming
 
The soul is an arsenal
The mind is a general
The spirit is a frantic warrior
Fester Man is now a
One man army
REVENGE!!
