Late Night With the Devil

comedy?

for humans frequently 

this cognitive dissonance

it is the cost of doing business

within our shared reality

successfully 

we must sacrifice 

we must abstract

the predator

so we can share this

together

carefully

pretending perpetually 

without eating each other

openly

i know a few people in my life more animal than man... maybe it's everyone including me. society is held together by thin pieces of duct tape, almost giving in to the pressure, but never quite.

Oh yes my friend, we are the same kind of animal. We all share more than we differ, it's just that the differences define us... we have to stress them or lose the individual. We were all born human, even our greatest enemies cannot be expelled from this fact... just like our most idealized idol, still a filthy human. Just like you, just like me.

Very interesting. Thought provoking. Keep up the good work.

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my devilry.

"Devilry"? >((:
I prepared to read some deep dark secret you may be keeping! I get ya, though. Pretending consistently keeps us from devouring each other. It's ok, I guess lol...I kinda miss the old days when you were utterly decimating. You, now, it's a relief, in a way, to "NOT" get destroyed, lol. Great poesy, love.

Do you truly think I'm an evil person Betta?
