Exit, Stage Right

This is crap! It's all a hoax, another of life's stupid jokes. Just when you think you've made it stop the devil's other shoe will drop. How many times can we be fooled and think that Hell has finally cooled? Like children, we all run outside 'cause someone said that pigs could fly. We think we have it all controlled, then Fate reminds us of its hold. We're actors and the play is writ and we can't change it, not one whit. Although we mewl and whine like babes, the play goes on upon the stage. They lie and tell us will is free but we are damned to eternity. And when we realize and stop the play goes on, it matters not! Nothing stops the play, you see, it just goes on eternally. And who is all this acting for? For any viewer, it'd be a bore. We know that God left long ago, tired of this painful show. And daily , many actors quit and nothing changes, not one bit. We realize , with much chagrin, that it was pointless to begin. The point is made, and it draws blood, the meaning of it, clear as mud. So jump back on the carousel and ride again, what the hell.
