Our Decaying Mind

Michael A. McGuire

Ignorance is sharper and more

precise in destruction than any

sword or knife which can slice you

right through the bone!

 

It pierces the heart and mind, causing

more damage than a swift arrow or bullet,

and will eventually cut down your Living Soul!

 

All we have learned has been destroyed by

this force!  We submit forth our truths for

just one comprehending soul to hear, but it's

all in vain…it is the TRUTH, above all, that we fear!

 

The Dawn of Knowledge has evolved into

eternal night! The prophesies of the great

thinkers have come at last.

 

Our World is slowly decaying…religiously,

morally, ethically, and intellectually

…and to my great sorrow, I have to admit

…WE ARE LOSING OUR ASS!

 

Yet in the light of these facts, we still

add more fuel to the flame.

 

I guess we've all just given up on Life;

with nothing more to do but walk around

with our heads hung low in silence; sadly

watching as we make our last wrong move

that finally ends God's greatest game!
