Fucking hellfire!
We’re not depressed;
We’re in despair,
For humanity.
We’re rich in spirit,
And that’s the crucial difference
Between us and them––
The happy clowns,
Who think life
Is one endless party.
Why seek religion,
When the devil is in our own heart?
God won’t cast him out––
Only Satan can do that,
Unabashed,
And bold.
If you’re not angry with life,
You’re not living;
You’re running
Straight towards the grave.
Live for today,
We have no idea
What tomorrow will bring.
Do what terrifies you.
Run,
Scream;
Make people want to put you behind bars.
That’s how you know
You’re still doing something right.
You’re still putting up a good fight,
When everyone else
Has laid down in their grave.
And if I am fucking depressed,
What could be more natural than that?
