I Could Rant Forever


I'm sorry for this but at this time when I wrote it I was really angry at the world and so hopeless and despaired. I hope you understand my anger

 

WE DON’T DESERVE ANYTHING GOOD,

FOR WE ARE A WICKED MESS OF HORRIBLE CAPABILITIES;

JUST LOOK AT US,

THE TERRIBLE BEINGS WE ARE,

JUST LOOK AT ALL WE SAY AND DO,

WE KILL OUR PEOPLE,

OUR OWN KIND,

WE KILL INNOCENT CREATURES

JUST FOR ENTERTAINMENT OF SOME SORT,

WE KILL OUR WORLD,

AND WE WILL BE THE VERY CENTER 

OF THE DESTRUCTION OF OUR WORLD,

WE HARM EACH OTHER

IN WAYS SO UNIMAGINABLY AWFUL;

WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THIS?

WHY IS VIOLENCE

AND SIN

AND EVIL

SUCH A REGULAR PART OF OUR LIVES?

I KNOW WHY:

WE WANT OUR HURT

AND PAIN

AND SUFFERING

TO BE SHARED,

SO WE JUST DUMP ALL OUR PROBLEMS

ON SOME POOR, 

INNOCENT BEING,

HOPING IT’LL SOLVE ALL OF IT,

BUT IT DOESN’T;

WE ARE EVIL THINGS,

WE DON’T DESERVE ANYTHING BUT DEATH

AND TORMENT,

FOR WE ARE AWFUL CREATURES,

AND WE WILL NOT AND SHOULD NOT SURVIVE.
