A Neon Gospel
(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-fight,
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
