Satan's Catechism

so easy to speak of suffering and love so instead we'll speak of the one body many minds problem it is the wisdom of pain vs. the wisdom of pleasure vs. the wisdom of extinction the greater the risk the greater the risk I flunked out of school school so my dice are perpetually on the fly presently writing the final flaming chapter you will recall from your history texts that there is a describable form of data which controls the description of all other data which is shining above like the Milky Way you can pet my hump now then a voice booms out from everywhere at once with an intensity that is preposterous preposterous now there's a word that needs no introduction marry into money son don't Van Gogh that ear son get the best set of maps your set of maps can provide son that finishes our emergency broadcast it's all in post production special effects lots of zoom in and out simultaneously plane to plane projection the pure stuff none of that cheap point to surface no sir not for my minions of desecration the evidence is way too flimsy to change the modern direction anyhow then I did some number crunching and took a ride on Godzilla's foot loaded my pants with explosives took out two day shift checkout aisles and a Starry Night mall fountain mosaic before they punched my ticket drugged gagged and bound thrown at the jury's unwashed feet BTW the sickness of modern society is in fact the previous society but the reasons for not writing are the same reasons for writing we'll come up with something every night is karaoke night From "Engine of Didactic Beauty" available on Amazon Artist Portfolio: http://walteralter.byethost32.com/

If you know history, you'll know that the nightmare was far worse before technology. Modern electronic media puts the nightmare in our face and we are more civilized now, so it seems worse. Read about the Mongol invasion of Europe in the early 14th century if you want nightmare.
