Analysis of My Last Will and Testament



Dear,
To whom it may concern
This is my last Will and Testament
I, Eric being of brainwashed mind and owned body
Bequeath the following worldly possessions
To the government,
I leave my mind
For which you have programmed for years
I leave my eyes
Which you have blinded from the truth
I leave my ears
Which you have filled with lies
I leave my body
Which you branded a slave long ago
You may also keep my death benefit of $255.00 dollars
For it is a humorous tribute of my worth in your eyes
I suggest you buy booze with it
To toast my untimely demise at your hands
As for the remainder of my estate
Please sell them to the highest bidder
To help bailout another failed mess
Brought on by the corruption you made your bed with
All that I ask is that you keep my ass
So you can kiss it on my way out

Sincerely,
Your slave

Eric (and sometimes not)
