Text 10 Aug Two Pieces by Kevin Heaton

Kevin Heaton

To Hell With It-

Although the

              human

experiment has at

times exhibited

signs of

           promise;

indeed,

demonstrated a

desire to

             elevate.

The rudimentary

levels of

development

achieved thus far

have consistently

       fallen short;

the intended

goals unrealized.

Therefore, the

process should be

        abandoned.

Depravity-

What utter

         nonsense

is man?

For he

               alone

amongst God’s

creatures

        possesses

the age-old

yearning

              desire

to seek with

zealous fervor

his own

      destruction.
