It all started As a mere curiosity But like a snowball Rolling down a hill...... I ask my parents Why do you have me They speak of family legacy And 'normal' social expectations; Yet I have nothing worthy to pass down. So I shall end the bloodline. I ask the society Why do you want me? They speak of cultural survival And the gods' commandments; Yet all I see are oppressive traditions. So I refuse this ancestral peer pressure. I ask the church Why do you want me? They speak of ensuring numbers And the "natural" way of the world Yet all I see are hypocrisy and closed minds. So I slain the gods in my heart and mind I ask the world What do you want from me? It did not answer; it merely shows. And I see cruelty, I see pain, I see apathy So I decide, the universe never cared There is no meaning to it all Just the fate one creates for oneself Thus, I vow, I shall end this darkness And annihilate all of reality Should gods and demons oppose me I will cut them down too!
