many men will tell you
from the womb to your tomb
that if you act upon your instincts
your soul is ******* doomed
_________
one must not be selfish
although one only has the self
one must not indulge
or else your *** will burn in hell
one must not revere false idols
although heroes may be idolized, case in point: saints
one must live selflessly
and aim for heaven
one must suppress all aggression
and so we are aggrieved by oppression
_________
when you are in your coffin
a minister may wander over
saying "oh, he was a good, hardworking man"
remembering your wage
the alms that bought his car
and his pension
remembering your children who will continue the cycle
epitome of parasitic
from your father's ***** to being funneled in an urn
you are the host.
