Aye, so I feel down
so like any societally inept man throughout history
I resign to write self-assuring philosophy
Whole books of advice, not taken
to scorn those who make my mistakes
I even quote my dead depressed brothers
to bestow a false valid weight
But more than anything at all,
I think Nietzsche was most right;
all us philosophers
who shrugged off all heaven or hope
retreat to our own arrogant plan
that we figured it all out
