The poem is ok, but I don't see why everyone is saying that stanza three is the most effective because it is painting vivid images for. It is easy to create images when you say something for shock value.
shit yourself or rape a 12 year old, they are basically the same? No, but the author needed something racy so he went all in. Ok. Stanza three is the weakest part of the poem to me, it's vulgarity is too concrete and shock mongering to be taken seriously.
One could agree that society and government is overbearing and takes pride in calling out criminals in the name of security, or that people make fun of other people for having no pride, when they themselves are huge hypocrites, or that one persons loss is another's gain, but no one is going to agree that it is better to rape a 12 year old than to become a hypocrite. Its over the top and ridiculous.
