As I walk down the path
I think about things
Things I’ve done
Things I’ve not done
Places I’ve traveled
Things I’ve seen
People I’ve met:
Notions dispelled;
Stereotypes shattered
As I walk down the path
I think about things
Idiots I’ve encountered
Adversities I’ve faced
Adversities the humanity has faced
Ignorance of few
Sheer extremism of others
As I walk down the path
I think about things
People who spread rumours
People who gossip
People who don’t give a damn
About basic ethics
As I walk down the path
I think about things
Basic human psychology
Basic greed, basic gluttony
Basic disregard
For others misery,
For you’re only concerned
When the lightning strikes your house
As I walk down the path
I think about things
The very things that made
Humanity a success
Have again brought it to its knees
Even when the dust is settled
For me, humans will never be the same.
“Humans disgust me, vile creatures.”
~ William Regal
Nice, keep it up.

hello!
I have been following your blog for almost 3 years now – infact it one the first ones i loved, and let me just say i love your essays. However, I am sure you’d be good at fiction too, which is why i wanted to ask if you would be interested in a collective story writing event. See, my friend has started a chain thing in which one person writes 200 words of a story, then the next person adds 200 more words, until the 10th person sends it back to the writer, with a fresh 2000 word story. If you are interested in participating and forwarding it to someone, please let me know.
Either way, love your work!
