I am the happiest man alive...

I know the most beautiful woman in the world... and no one else can see her beauty,

I understand the most beautiful passage in the world... and few others do,

I have the greatest Father in the world, and few are as lucky to have known such sacrificial fatherly love...

I live in the place to be...

I see beauty wherever I go when few that I know notice it...

Little I own, but I feel very rich,

I have savored the most sublime music, which made my very soul shudder while others pretend to have...

I have conquered my hate for ugliness and my pride, but I still cannot comprehend ugliness...

However,

I write these words in tears...

My love for her is unrequited...

When I go to listen to the bearded man read the passage from the Book, I see his congregation bickering about titles, money, elections and the constitution...

and by Fate's mocking scheme, I fail to repay the greatest man in my life,

and in the place to be, I meet so many humanoids that are insensitive to the pain and suffering, the big pain this world is in...

and when I try to tell my friends about the beauty I see, they call me a "healthy red blooded male"...

I tell them about the most beautiful music in the world, but they can't hear it...

Now that I have bled me a bit, I turn my back to you and march on...

with a hope for something better
