THE SANITY OF HUMANITY

Friday 19 September--Saturday 13 December 2008

No, not sanity,
Rather, insanity.
We choose depravity
Over spirituality.
Godless activity
Of our own ability,
Combining brutality
With reckless barbarity,
Forsaking Christianity
To live in captivity.
In our curiosity,
We embrace carnality
With its complexity
And crippling criminality.
We choose conformity,
With all its deformity,
Denying dignity,
Embracing disunity,
Duality,
Duplicity,
While ignoring the enormity
Of the whole of eternity,
Ignoring the finality
Of fatality
With the futility
Of frivolity,
Festivity.
We claim an identity
Void of integrity,
Living in immorality,
Grasping for immortality,
Sacrificing morality,
While denying our mortality,
Pursuing obscenity,
Wallowing in perversity,
Refusing the priority
Of purity
For pointless profanity
And meaningless popularity.
In our stupidity,
We give up security,
Existing in servility
To senseless sensuality,
Sacrificing sanctity,
With its simple simplicity,
Turning to vanity--
Lives squandered in vulgarity . . .

. . . and this is our sanity.
