“A Fate Worse Than Death” (A Poem)

by Anton Martin Smith antonmartinsmith@gmail.com

In any human society with a culture – there are three overarching mental states:

Life

Death

Anti-Life

The most advanced cultures mostly embrace ‘Life’ & so thrive the most.

The stock average culture has large doses of the second & third contaminating the first but gets by.

The most fucked up cultures are too stupid to know how badly ‘Anti-Life’ they have become, these are the forever hell-holes.

Oh & come to think of it – this also works on the individual level too.

So even in all the Earth’s paradise’s there can still yet be demons,

And in even in all the Earth’s Hells their can still be angels.

‘Everyday life’ is a very strange thing indeed.

(& don’t let some fool tell you it ain’t).
