heard a story once

about two men facing a judgement


the first one was told

he had five more lifetimes on earth to endure


before he'd be released from the Wheel of Creation

and he wailed and cried


"Five more lifetimes!!! Oh my God the horror

"The misery"


the second one was a goofy fuck-up

who had more than a thousand lifetimes to go through


before his mess was cleaned up

and on hearing this the goofball said


"Hur-Hur...Great!...Bring it on"

and in that instant he became enlightened  and was released...


oh fool that I am

how I envy the fool...
