looked me in the eye
I'm an intellectually curious atheist
a portrait of guilt breached his face
I'm in constant search of a God I don't believe in
when I looked confused
his laughter shattered my eardrums
pay me no mind
he sputtered through the mirth
I'm really looking for a girl with a beautiful body
and a sick mind

I walked away

wait, kemo sabe
he caught up with me
it's the new year
will this be the year we find world-wide
everlasting peace?
someone told me a while back
peace is overrated I said
what'd you tell him?
nothing
I punched him in the mouth

To mimic is a form of praise unless
you have no thoughts of your own

As they say - actions speak louder than words. Best I keep quiet now.

Peace in my time I am afraid is not going to be. I really hope that someone becomes wiser and can also lead,, some how I doubt it.

Isn't going to happen, latearrival. Never. The more we learn the further apart we seem to drift. The world is completely insane at the beginning of the new year.
