John-Paul Richard
What do you believe in, all on your own?
Stocks, family, love in your home?
Do you question who you are and why you do?
Or do you sit glassy eyed before the tube?
Though I wish ignorance, it will never come,
So question yourself until you've won!
Won what?
Why, your humanity.
Why you should, and continue to be.
And if you stop unable to find one
Then you're in danger, for your worth is none.
No reason to live, your works tally to zero,
When you die, no shout of, "Qualis artifex pereo!"
Qualis artifex pereo - Emporer Nero's Last words translated to, " what an artist dies in me"

A quick stab in the side,
At least it will save him from
                                               "bEiNg BoReD"
Talking, snickering, whispering, talking, talking,
Just a quick stab in the back!
Maybe a hammer to the temple,
And a shot through the heart...

No?
Well, fine.
Ruin my fun.
I assure you he'll be back soon
If Satan couldn't listen to Jesus,
This ****** won't stay a day in hell.

With what face should I face your face?
One of joy, hate, or that of disgrace?
For the first time I might be me in this place...
No
How could you even say that, "just be me"
If you weren't I, I'd make you not be
His face looks fine, not too ugly or too refined,
Yes. Today I'll be he, and let rest me.
Perhaps tomorrow, as yesterday said,
Perhaps tomorrow I'll let my face be shown from my head.

— The End —
