The Ways of a Righteous Dude (Part Three) TBC**A Story by Paris HladHere I Stand, Sort of (At Least for Now)
So, here I stand …
Bobby …
“Bingo” …
Casanova …
A bad-a*s lowlife Come to school the kids, Because for the first time In their stupid piss-yellow lives, The daffodils got something right -
I am in hell - Maybe for keeps �" Even though I do seem to be working my way Into the Nothingness -
Or so, the morons Like to think anyway.
I'm supposed to write This phony plea to the Gardener To put my lights out for good
Because the Nothingness is thought to be A better deal than hell in some way.
But I got news for you, s**t-face,
Some of us don’t think so.
Some of us like the vibe here And don’t get too excited about Writing love letters to grandma
Or kissing her gigantic butt Because she thinks we should.
No way! I like the way hell rolls.
I do a few off-the-wall hygiene duties For a guy who happens to be About the most righteous Son-of-a-b***h lowlife There’s ever been - And whatever I want to do
In my free time.
I mean, hell is as good or better Than anything I’ve ever known
You might say, What the place lacks In family-friendly, TV sitcoms And memorable white Christmases, It exceeds in brainless, nasty b*****s Who turn tricks at the drop of a hat And party like there’s no tomorrow. It may not be perfect, but overall The Old Slow Fry is all aces, As far as I’m concerned.
And these will go away into eternal punishment But the righteous into eternal life �" Matthew 25:46
You can get any kind of drug you want here; I mean, you're expected to be high every moment because the Worm prefers playing with your head when you're wasted, especially if he's in the mood to get personal and chase your a*s through the flames and s**t. He's a crazy, sick son-of-a-b***h; but believe me, he does try to please �" And so do I, come to think of it. In fact, sometimes the getting personal part is my idea, which can really get his juices flowing; and then, things get massively destructive on both ends. Sometimes it's me chasing him or even everybody chasing us, or us chasing everybody else. It's beyond awesome because like the Worm, I'm a participant, not a bystander, so it’s ideal for a worm-maker like me.
Now, it probably blows your mind a little that I'm okay with the Worm. So maybe I should clue you into some things that may surprise you about hell. For one thing, there's no capital punishment here; and for some, there’s no punishment at all. You get your brand-new personal universe just like you do in paradise, only for a lowlife like me, it comes with some attractive comps. I mean, it's basically the same pitiful circus of violence, cruelty, and despair that I came to love when I was on the outside; but in hell, there's no interference with getting “the extra” out of things. I can knock around anyone I want �" for as long as I want![1] Honestly, hell is everything I hoped it would be, so the thought of begging some old lady gardener to whack me doesn't have a lot of appeal. It pisses me off a little when I think about it. Say sorry? I don't think so.
I think you'd be surprised by the number of A-list celebrities who hang their hats here: You might not like hearing it, but there are even a dozen or so former popes, and pretty much every pop singer there’s ever been. Not too many famous bugs like me really, but a whole crapload of “woke” college professors and country-club Republicans. Surprisingly, those groups combined out-number your basic big city street felon to the tune of 6 to 1 in hell’s current inmate population. © 2023 Paris Hlad |
