I stand in a recess, in sheltered shadowy darkness,
Iconoclastically examining the human condition
From a completely detached, insensate, brutally revealing and unforgiving perspective,
With no horde of hearts for company,
My life becalmed, cocooned, encapsulated,
In a faerie, quixotic matrix of unending and pervasive loneliness.
With no family, or friends or loved ones surrounding, supporting or understanding,
With no drugs, no hugs, or kisses, or even the release and satisfaction of sweaty frenetic sex,
With no communication, or connection or the faintest recognition,
That the transcendent enterprise in which I am engaged might be worthwhile.
Existence reduced to a single self imposed focus and duty, to a wholly altruistic responsibility,
To conduct a detailed audit of primitive ideologies and responses hitherto lost in antiquity,
To create ideas that accurately describe and explain the existing reality,
And so construct an appropriate and fitting memorial and epitaph
To the so many human lives senselessly, futilely and tragically wasted.
