In a dark time the eye begins to see

The poets might be right after all. The prospect
of peace is more irrational than the dark brooding
desire for murder each of us hosts like a malevolent
gene. Humanity's penchant for sinister error, folly,
mass psychosis and loathsome horror gives us our
sense of humor, our appreciation of the comedy
of inescapable death.
