(For Colm)
“Man is something that shall be overcome”
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some suckers just want to get high, Life is infinitely more important, Literally a chance to live forever, A fly cannot comprehend space-flight, A man cannot comprehend the possibility, Of his own immortality They shall raise the ashes, As all convenes into one, Veritable singularity, Whatever you call it Peace comes when you pray
