Oh, well done! So that's what a sestina is. I'll have to have a go at one. Has it rhythmical requirements, or does it require only the reuse of the end words?
strick should be stricken. I don't know what mistiful should be -- misted? mistful?

Little_Big_Nose & The Argument From Evil
------
There once was a little big nose
Who ever the question did pose
If there's a god,
Why'd he give me a rod
That's only as big as my toes?

There once was a black-clothed paintballer
Who at christians would constantly holler
He'd be far less wroth,
(& maybe more preppy than goth)
If only his dick would stand taller

Thank God, Grandma kept Grandpa well-trained
And all of his bad habits constrained
But it took her some time
To get him in line
And he'd long since all carpets bestained.

What? somebody dropped an expensive vase? Melinda's 2 month-old baby puked on the bible during christening? The split second in time while the gangbangers bullet is penetrating your brain? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???????????

Was the spelling of field really intentional? I agree with god'swife, the last line -- content of which is superb, no complaints there -- should be tidied up. If not by deleting the extra then, at least break it differently.

"You are taking up my Oxygen, Nitrogen,
Argon, you are taking up my arrogance." is great.
The rest is (for you) mediocre.

dude, stop spitting all over the place. The garden is evil to you because you are unconsciously aware that you are one of the most privileged 0.001% of people who've ever lived -- most diseases conquered, incredible technology cheaply available beyond anything your greatgrandfathers could ever have imagined, never have to worry about going hungry, potential average lifespan double what it was a century ago, or what it is in most of the world -- and yet you KNOW you are doing and will do absolutely nothing worthwhile with all that privelege and opportunity, that you are as useless and meaningless a piece of shit as some retarded stable hand whose job it was to shovel manure from a stable in some long forgotten town in eastern europe in the 14th century.

lol. Immaculately cute.
You did very well with the rhythm, and the topic is without question original. My only nitpick, purely for the sake of scansion & form, would be to not bother with "the" before ground and keep cats & ground on one line in the penultimate stanza.

I'm going to give you an 8 for this. Not because it's actually worth an 8, mind you, but just because the fact that you obviously must have put actual time and effort into coming up with 5 5-syllable rhymes & a 4-syllable rhyme against inferiority/superiority is (I hope) an encouraging sign of some sort of pending revivification. Though with our luck, it's more likely a sign of pending revitrification.
speaking of "xxxxx-ation": rhyming against -ation 8 times in a row is DEFINITELY NOT to be encouraged. Please don't do that again. Even if the last one is a clever use of an obscure word. And please: get rid of "fascicles". It's a word that just ought not to exist. Even though you've used it correctly (in an awkward, contrived sort of way) the fact that no one ever in the history of poetry would ever consider using it that way makes it just seem wrong, and makes YOU seem just wrong.
