Plague has shut the world down.
Everyone is suspect. Family and
friends and dogs and cats are lethal.
Move to lonely and sad and live alone.

I sit on the castle wall drunk.
I tilt left and right and back and forth.
I'm Humpty Dumpty the big egg.
My destiny is to fall and break.

Do you know the answer?
Do you even know the question?
We're all just dumb beasts of burden
when all is said and done.
I want pleasure where I find it.
I'll pay the wages of sin for it.
I'll betray Christ for the silver
or hand God to the atheists for
an hour with a pipe or needle.
Don't hate me for my addictions.

I loved each of you with all my heart.
     You were my fierce light in the dark
     corridor that is my life. I treasure
     each touch, smile and secret we shared.
     You were my favorite. You always are.
     You were all just as broken as I was.

Help! On a deserted island.
I desperately need toilet paper.
A bottle of scotch would be welcome.
Carol from junior prom please.

The sun looks angry today.
Harsh shadows are everywhere.
Winds are kicking up and fires are
running wild. Pity the wildlife.
Abandon your homes in the hills
and hope the brave can save you.

Everybody struggles.
Rich, poor or in between.
Some have everything.
Some have nothing.
We all fight our demons
and suffer in our own hell.
