I met a man one fateful afternoon
With a sign around his neck that read:
"The end is coming soon."
Thus strengthening my thoughts that
The true horor of humanity
Is it's confusion in everyday society
You see, the man was once a priest
Who now so pitifully blasphemed
And when I asked why he replied,
"I have no control
I must adapt to the constantly changing
Aesthetic choices of my God,
These are the rules I must live by."
Though there was cheap bourbon on his breath
He nearly sucked me in with his view on death
"You see kid, the corruption of life dictates
that one life is more valuable than another,
This very fact makes us all sinners.
Especially when the loss of one is a catastrophe
while the death of millions are
Numbers crunched onto sheets of paper."
His thoughts on love however brought me back to my senses
"Love is now in a vacuum,
it's loss of gravity fails to keep it grounded
and rooted in the hearts of mankind
which has allowed it to dissolve
into mere property of perversions of
innocent pleasures."
The newspaper stand nearby
contradicted his claims with
the head lines reading:
"Woman risks life for the safety of her child!"
