Cereal killers

sorenbarrett

How many do you remember of those that kill, chew and dismember
Cartoons Saturday morn, considered kiddy porn, your TV baby tender
Garavito the beast invited to Dahmer's feast, killed by Pedro Filho the real Dexter
Jack the Ripper, inventor of the flesh zipper, sent letters not being a texter
BK changed his name to McDonalds hiring Ted Bundy to buy his bread
John Wayne Gacy changed his name to Rooster wearing an eye patch on his head
Epstein wears a young girl's bikini, Donald ducks on a children's show wearing no pants
Popeye on his bulging muscle rubs Olive Oil, Tom and Jerry do a naked dance
Wuornos is hitching a ride, Manson changed his name to Marilyn, his gender he couldn't decide
The Zodiac joined the border patrol shooting people calling it suicide 
Oh so many more from the box you could pour but the children are all full
Enough cartoons and clown balloons, Ted Kaczynski's got a job to pull

      Thanks my friend I appreciate the read and comment

    • Teddy.15

      We live in an insane world, you bring many distasteful pictures in poetic form. 🌹 Kudos

      • sorenbarrett

        Thanks so much Teddy for your read and comment always most appreciated. It is the bitter with the sweet and the sour that gives the food flavor and appreciation for what one really likes. So many focus on the macabre and dark, so many bitter people a little sugar needs to be added to make the food palatable. Just a bit of dark humor to sugar coat the kids cereal.

          I know, if we delve into the very insanity behind British children's nursery rhymes there are incredibly eye-opening facts too. You have opened Pandora's box 🌹

              Children's cartoons like children's nursery rhymes do tread a fine line for the ones involved.
              Always felt that if you put them under the physiatrists' microscope, they wouldn't be allowed out in public.
              Mind you, some physiatrists are nuttier than their patients.

                You are so right I have known plenty most all are crazy while psychologists are just weird. As for nursery rhymes and cartoons they are really just pornography invented for children and I love them all.

                Soren, this hits hard. It’s relentless…name after name after name, until the horror stops shocking and starts feeling normalized. That exhaustion is part of the point, and it lands. I love the title, too! Wicked and killer!

                And yeah…as a Marilyn Manson fan, that wordplay name drop was sharp. 😏 It fit the cultural bleed you’re exposing and, apropos, what Brian Warner was going for in his name choices. Strong stuff, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
