Do you think of yourself as an atheist? God no. Those were the good old days… For a long time I’ve suspected that we might be simply incapable of imagining the epochal evils of which we stand rightly accused and I thought it at least possible that the structure of reality itself harbors something like the forms of which our sordid history is only a pale reflection. —from Stella Maris by Cormac McCarthy What do you do when evil looks you in the eye? Some people just start lying and lying Until their life becomes like a Stairmaster of lies From which they can never escape What do you do when evil looks you in the eye? Some people just look for something beautiful And try to kill it What do you do when evil looks you in the eye? Some people just look for something they think they can control What do you do when evil looks you in the eye? Some people just sigh And try Not to cause any more pain than they have to Just to get by by Richard W. Bray
