Perhaps I am an evil man, Perhaps I am; I cannot tell; I try to do the best I can, But know I do not do it well. Perhaps there is a space for me In some unknown corner of hell, Where hope reigns for eternity, And nothing ever breaks its spell. For hope is, when all's said and done, The worst of things a man can suffer; It keeps us traipsing, one by one, From one disaster to another. Perhaps it's best to just give up; Immerse myself in a life of sin, Drink good wine, and raise a cup To my worst enemy- Nigel Finn.

Hoping For Better
Perhaps I am an evil man, Perhaps I am; I cannot tell; I try to do the best I can, But know I do not do it well. Perhaps there is a space for me In some unknown corner of hell, Where hope reigns for eternity, And nothing ever breaks its spell. For hope is, when all's said and done, The worst of things a man can suffer; It keeps us traipsing, one by one, From one disaster to another. Perhaps it's best to just give up; Immerse myself in a life of sin, Drink good wine, and raise a cup To my worst enemy- Nigel Finn.
"Hope, in reality, is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torment of man"- Nietzsche
