NON-BELIEVER

If ever there was a thing called love,

It died of abuse and utter neglect

For humanity gave it no respect

If ever there was a thing called lust,

It won it prize long before we did,

Our vanity made it splendid

If ever there was a thing called hope,

Its time is dead and gone,

And degeneration took it place

If ever there was a thing called faith,

Its strength did dissipate,

Binding us to a common fate,

If ever there was a thing called rage,

We must have lost its cage,

And found a way to give it edge,

If ever there was a thing called pain,

This is the only thing I could claim,

For it fills me with self disdain.

If ever, again I say, if ever,

As I don’t believe

in things I can’t break

I don’t believe in emotion,

I don’t believe in chance

I don't believe in fate,

I simply don’t believe,

If ever, possibly, if ever.

They were but they aren’t
