Insane Gods and the Pranks They Play
Phil Cummings III 1978 (Vermont)
The stars shine like pinholes in the blackened sky, made by insane Gods on the other side of our 3 dimensional equivalent to reality. Voices pour from the openings in our identity and ride upon breath of smoke and disease. When people fall eternally through the abyss of undying love they tend to close their eyes tightly to the logic of survival. What happened to “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?” The wheels that spin infinitely on the cars of life don’t or won’t or can’t brake for the pedestrians in our hearts.
We are attractive to others only until someone more appealing dances by and the single solitary advice demanded from society today is to know your roll, stick to it and don’t make ripples in the morale of the majority. Climb that steepest hill with thoughts of grandeur and success only to stumble and tumble down the opposite side. Hope for nothing and you’ll never lose hope. There’s too much sanity to bring us back from insanity. Don’t fight it, just go with the flow of the “World” and everything shall come with ease. Or so the insane Gods would make it seem.
