Whatever Works

The religions have been made into corporate businesses, 
the basic intentions of Jesus were good, and also those 
of Marx: share equally, democracy, government by the 
people, do unto others, all great ideas, all suffer from one 
fatal flaw, all based on fallacious notion that people are 
fundamentally decent. We're a failed species, so do whatever 
works if you can filch a little joy in this cruel, dog eat dog 
pointless black chaos. 

Nothing comes to anything, you're all full of misinformation, 
morality, science, religion, sports, love, your portfolio. 
The next generation of idiots will tell you all about life 
and define for you what is appropriate. The speaker's father 
committed suicide because of horror at corruption, 
ignorance, poverty, genocide, aids, global warming, 
terrorism, family values morons, gun morons, the standards 
of a mindless, barbarous civilization. You read about these 
horrors, then turn the page and go on eating your eggs. 
"The horror" Kurtz said at the end of Heart of Darkness.
