At the library I sit
Listening to a podcast
About the Byzantine Emperor Justinian

I think in a bit I will take notes
On a couple of articles
In the Journal of philosophical research

In the first article the author argues
That the existence of evil
Experienced through both human suffering
And human moral struggle

Ultimately benefits each person
By enabling human character to develop into
The likeness of God

The second article
Discusses the problem of weakness of will
In Augustine's struggle for moral growth

It is almost seven years now
Since I received my B.A.
Still at home
Still no career......
I'm 30 now

I suppose America is pretty much done for
Financially ruined

I enjoyed the samples at Costco today
Laughed to myself
As I saw the divine in others

And it is a shame
That I don't have that loving female friend
That I had hoped to meet
It is a shame

I am alone again
I think I will read these articles aloud
And record them on my iphone

What a thing this life is
Maybe I'll never find a job?
But that's okay
At least I tried
