The enchanted fairy-tales of our youth; <br />That ancient fool that met existence, <br />And slaughtered in its corruption; <br />Leaving but a boundless chasm, <br />A deprived mind in a tangled maze, <br />A Hopeless being on the pursuit, <br />For that next satisfying fix; <br />Drugs! <br />Sex! <br />Alcohol! <br />Anything that confirms we are still alive; <br />Oh, this is the great Hedonist Philosophy, <br />Of a Godless Nihilist Age!<br /><br />Isaac Simmonds<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/once-upon-a-time-in-nihilist-age/
