JJ CAMPBELL
the lesser of two evils my angry words will go unheard my questions about truth, morals and justice will be avoided yet again and i have this sick feeling that my fears will be answered come election day for somehow the masses of this society don't understand that a vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil i suppose then how all these "radical" people and nations view us isn't that far off base either morning paper i wait for death like an insomniac waits for the morning paper it can never get here soon enough summing up my life i live every day like i wish it was my last if that doesn't sum up my twenty-eight years of existence nothing ever will the inevitable failure i used to hit the bars and clubs in my younger days i would always be the creepy fucker up against the wall smoking and drinking and staring sure to leave empty handed by the end of the night i left that scene a few years ago once i found myself comfortable with seeking the inevitable failure from the comfort of my own home where the drinks are much cheaper J.J.
