The Ramblings of a Depressed Mind, Part 371

The Ramblings of a Depressed Mind, Part 371

A Poem by Kenneth The Poet
"

Pretty much what the title says.

"

The positions are covered

the blocks are in place


Humanity as a whole will

still be falling from grace


There's too many strands

claiming a cabal is in charge


Guess what I know

deception lives in the world at large


Nobody can keep the record

straight on the spindle


All these points are contradictory

so the argument dwindles


To a speck that fits on

the head of a typical pin


Breaking the ninth commandment

is a venial sin


Those without belief bother themselves

with something called proof


If a great degree of variance occurs,

the presenters keep their findings and remain aloof


Despite the calls to shut down their sites

and put down their pens


I guess that's what happens in the realm of delusion

 there is no when


A committed freethinker was sickened

by fumes of wretched exhaust


And the nihilist-minded realize that

humankind's destiny shall never defrost


But these schizophrenic dualists with their penchant

to see evil behind every rock  and tree


Are noisemakers and first-rate kooks that

just amuse the likes of you and me


And the perpetually depressed smile as we

approach the eleventh year after Gemini fell


Because the human record shows them

proof of an afterlife in a sulfuric, fiery hell


Maybe the believers all should bow down

and pray their hearts out of their chests


And they become the complimentary Marine Corps

they die like the rest
