Am I insane?
My head is wracked with pain.
My friends are fled
And I will soon enough be dead.
Morons all
Yet answered the call
As I watch my cigarette smoke wraith
I picture their faith
Like children they were
Then men.
Is this not happening again?
Are not the wisest the most careful,
The dumbest the most prayerful?
Is this not avarice or greed
And not need?
To be so sure we know
Yet never know
The trembling of the squirming snake below.
