PERFECT

drained of any inclination to connect

with my fellow souls (the fools...the wretches...)


I'd rather watch the whole parade

of malice and mendacity


pass like a turd from creation's anus...

what a waste of a soul's living


to live in the compromised earth...

oh I know...we're here to learn something...


but is the cost ever worth the suffering?

I say no...I say divine demands are absurd at best...


trapping you in the very imperatives

we are to overcome as if rubbing our nose


in the very shit we're trying to transcend

would not reaffirm 'like begets like' and teach us


something new...oh the vicious petty evil fools

who get a pass while the good suffer endlessly...


but then why complain? is it worth your time to argue

with the saps coursing the stem or to challenge the sun


as it draws the buds out of their seeds?

this is just the way it is...


creation an stinking imperfect turd sliding out

of a perfect asshole...
