One, two, three
Look at me
Four, five six
I have sticks
Seven, eight, nine
I committed a crime
Ten, eleven, twelve
The gun is on the shelf
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen
The crime went unseen
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen
I was sharp and real keen
Nineteen, twenty, twenty-one
I shot that guy with the gun
Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four
I shot him and ran out the door
Twenty-five, twenty-six, twenty-seven
I saw him go to heaven
Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, thirty
You know that guy was dirty
Thirty-one, thirty-two, thirty-three
I wound up taking a leak
Thirty-four, thirty-five, thirty-six
I beat him with the sticks
Thirty-seven, thirty-eight, thirty-nine
I heard him beg, plead and whine
Forty, forty-one, forty-two
I said to him, boohoo
Forty-three, forty-four forty-five
Damn he’s still alive
Forty-six, forty-seven, forty-eight
I messed up up, that’s great
Forty-nine, fifty, fifty-one
I shot him again with the gun
Fifty-two, fifty-three, fifty-four
I stepped on his face some more
Fifty-five, fifty-six, fifty-seven
He didn’t go to heaven
Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty
He’s the man that killed my daddy
Sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three
I had revenge in me
Sixty-four, sixty-five, sixty-six
He had to pay for this
Sixty-seven, sixty-eight, sixty-nine
This horrible man had to die

I'm watching a drama about sociopaths right now. This poem is so fitting.
