Humanity is a sun of hatred for us. One never ceases to be amazed at just how bottomless a human being’s capacity for contempt is. Every human being thinks he’s god, and so everybody insults me to their toenails whenever anything happens that contradicts this belief. How is that my fault? Why do you call me a dog for refusing to let a lecher be my boss? Some of you are convinced that having the right accent is more important than saying the right words, but people who believe that believe that superiority is genetic, not meritocratic. Go ahead and sin then. Let’s see how long you will stay human before devolving into an abomination. Everybody ignores those who insult others, and when it is directed at them, they go ahead and call the police. Is it true, then, that heaven has vanished along with the thousands of species that have gone extinct? It is all worth it, though, because this is what it means to be independent. Your mind is barren, your words vapid, so go ahead and fantasize about being god in your manor. My greater concern is how to harmonize my life with the fly that buzzes near me every now and then. That is relevance.
Hearken! Oh mighty Windsors! Your rule has no bounds, which is why I, a humble Arab, can cast my allegiance to you, living in a oasis of blue skies and needy cats. Your scepter might be small, but it will clink the mellowest of sounds when parrying and thrusting against the papal ferula, a debate recorded for the benefit of both sides. Yes, I am a Muslim, but my prayer stone reminds me everlastingly that I worship the earth. Your angels are the wills of steel that create an invisible mesh of regularity to a chaotic world, and though Zeus conquered the titans, Hades still spreads his mist in the hinterlands of what should be thriving and bustling megalopolises. Envy you the moon? Just name a place there, and it will be populated. Strike me with lightning, for I will eke out every little morsel of effort from your people, galvanizing them into building wonders looked back upon after millennia the way Stonehenge is looked at now, which though small now, was the peak of civilization then....
