We're All Doomed

“We’re all doomed”, he said.
Well, so we are!
From the moment of our birth,
no, before then
some don’t make it that far,
expelled by the body
to parts
unknown.

As I child
I thought
that living
with such knowledge
should be hellish,
impossible to live with
happily.

If I were god,
it would be
my little joke.
Forget Satan
and his fiery furnace,
the nonsense of an underworld,
the craziness of constant rebirth.
Life is hell.

I explained my theory
at Sunday School
when aged nine
and three-quarters.
It didn’t go down well.
But it still seems to me
that god is the creator
of the first conspiracy theories
and humans still don’t get it.

So he still has the last laugh
after all!
