The Misanthrope’s Prayer

misanthropy

People are a waste of time
With all their petty wants and needs
Alone I’ll get along just fine

This putrid planet is not kind
It spawned a dirty wanton breed
People are a waste of time

Humans beings: a horde of slime
A mass of filthy carnal deeds
Alone I’ll get along just fine

Creation is a wretched crime
A dirty lot it grows and feeds
People are a waste of time

If someone would just cut the vine
And scatter all the human seeds
Alone I’ll get along just fine

I curse the careless cold Divine
His ghastly garden full of weeds
People are a waste of time
Alone I’ll get along just fine

Richard W. Bray
