Nihilistic Musing: A Sonnet

Let us talk of this animal called human Have they through the age of reason grown? Give the answer if you are able Why most are ignorant self important drones Does anyone really care if Cain killed Abel? We joyfully gnaw on each others bones Damned clear all are deranged unstable Hurt children smile of lust make them moan Little do they know these dead as they stumble on All is arrogant emotion, true good has flown Plight of human suffering even makes me yawn I am proof the beast has ascended the throne He wanted it to pass him by, not drink of his father’s cup I say new seeds should be sewn, let us drink anew and blow it the fuck up.
