Good News!

A 2020 poem

Good news! There is no God.

Good news! There is no hope.

Good news! Your life has no purpose.

Good news! There is neither good nor evil.

Good news! The universe is indifferent to you.

Good news! Hide that knife.

Good news! Call the Samaritans.

Good news! You don’t matter.

Good news! Okay, just go ahead and kill yourself.

Good news! No one cares.

False Prophet

A 2020 poem

Let him be happy for a while

Fill his ears with lies, and smile

Calamity is creeping to his street

Marauding in the darkness

Claws extended, ready to take a swipe

Tell him he is safe

Clap your hands, tell jokes, distract

Play a little game, pocket the cash

Speak a vain imagining or three

Keep that silly talk away from me

Cold

A 2020 poem

It’s freezing

Your heart

I would feel sorry for you

But my heart is the same
