The key characteristic
Of our species
Is that we have the most insatiable appetite,
And we will eat until we die.
We all amount to
More or less the same.
Ask me how much
Of a ****
I give about Alexander the Great.
A human is the punchline
To a joke told billions of times over
By a universe that laughs
Every time we think we aren’t enough.
In a world so grim,
We need a jester,
Now more than ever.
So laugh yourself to the stars.
