God is dead?

by Charlie Morgan

"God is dead" a chant from idiots
who never read ol' freddy;
never knew it was nietsche.

but they knew the kite by holding the tail.

they didn't know Friedrich Wilhelm Nietcsche;
they didn't know he said "...you killed him."

but counterculures grow outside labs
and are flourished by freedoms of man

carried like carol burnett's curtain-rod dress.

as the play opens man sneers, grumbles.
and it's the first of many scenes to come;

in this opening scene it's a sneer of fear;
a cloud of mystery defying man and gravity.

"ahh, to be loved!" man laments as he's alone.
it is the fault of my selfish gene, he rests.

An incredibly lucid and important statement here. It has the quality of timelessness. I'm making it my first favorite. :}
