  Ephraim, a friend of mine, says that we are in the shitter both financially and morally. He tells me there was a time when people used to have values like not putting up with anyone's crap and giving them a good punch in the face for being a no-good bastard. He tells me that this is what the world needs now - some good old barbaric justice. urlLink You want to skirt the letter of the law to screw people , you get a punch in the f-ing face. You want to repeatedly lie to my face, reach into my wallet, and then pat me on the back as if you're my friend, you get a f-ing punch in the face.
It's that simple. Ephraim tells me that once, a big kid used to torture everyone around him in his second grade class. All Ephraim wanted to do was keep low, not get noticed. He knew, from playing chess, that the bully had a better run of the board than he did, with Ephraim not being a white kid and rich. Ephraim also knew that it was only a matter of time before the fit hit the shan the bully would find him and all of his differences and weaknesses. Sometimes Ephraim would dream about kicking the bully's ass and having all the girls and boys in the class like him and cheer for him, but that would not happen.
That only happened in movies like My Bodyguard and shit. That day came when the bully found him and punished him good as the same kids he once imagined would befriend him for standing up for them only cheered as he got the snot beat out of him. And you know what Ephraim thought about that day on the ground with granular, crunchy dirt in his mouth and the copper penny taste of blood running down the back of his throat?
He thought of Christ on the cross and how he hated everyone and how Jesus wasn't there to save the world, he was just there to make someone else feel better and more powerful because it was not them getting the crap kicked out of them. And after that thought, Ephraim lost it and gave the bully a a black eye. He still got the ever-loving shit beaten out of him and got a detention, but at least he did not go down without a little dispensing of some justice. And Ephraim tells me that sometimes you just have to hit them hard and make them feel the pain. And people tell me that I'm angry.
