A troublemaker, he hated America, and
in his turbulent college days started
protested against its policies in the streets
despite living a privileged free world life
and spoiled by his wealthy parents.

Fed up, done with, capitalistic America,
he left the county when a politician
he hated got voted president.

Disgusted, he renounced America.
As a dissident, moved to Thailand
for what he felt was a paradise with
exciting bars full of hot, exotic women
and nothing to get outraged about.

After living there a year, in a crowded bar
he got recklessly drunk and said to some
Thais that he thought the king of Thailand
was a pompous jackass who just sucked
on the tit of taxpayer money.

The next day he got arrested for
Article 112, Lese-majeste, and now
he sits in a Thai prison for twenty
years for foolishly insulting their king.
