Endsville

One man died on the bed of cancer
Another one raped his own daughter
Shy girl became a striptease dancer
Drunken driving brings to manslaughter
Somebody's child died of hunger
Another one lives like a lord
One guy was born in the gutter
Doomed to bear his heavy load
We all come to endsville
Welcome to endsville

("all other ways are closed to us,
Except the way already chosen"
T. s. eliot "murder in cathedral")

One woman was murdered by serial killer
Another one will live to a venerable age
Good boy likes to watch bloody thrillers
He'll release the beast from the cage

Somebody's son was killed in war
Another one exploded a bomb in plane
Nothing can change this moribund world
Our crazy planet remains the same

The last words:
We die with the dying:
See, they depart and we go with them
We are born with the dead:
See, they return and bring us with them
[t.s. eliot "little gidding"]

We all come to endsville
Welcome to endsville
