God is Dead, a letter of discontent.
Dear Friedrich Nietzsche,
 
 "There is more wisdom in your
 
 body than in your deepest philosophy."
 
 
 Tis not my body that wields the erudition so sought out,
 
 the moments of environmental impact yields life's aesthetics. 
 
 
 
 But you distinguished this fact: Perspectivism. 
 
 
 
 The human "truths" are merely 
 
 cognitive play dough, a sculpture of other ideals,
 
 thoughts and theories. We the People
 
 are unoriginal as ever, a periodicity of the
 
 past. 
 
 
 
 Divulge me, Dr.Nietzsche:
 
 Did you relish in the divine company
 
 of Apollo and polar 
 
 Dionysus? 
 
 Ensuingly, after celebrating
 
 mortal individuality and logic
 
 -breeding creativity, the
 
 chaotic contrast of
 
 emotional and
 
 delirious of Dionysian.
 
 
 
 Two parts of a whole, bestowing: The Birth of Tragedy. 
 
 
 
 
 Who's epoch grieves fulsomely? 
 
 Gods; Mortals. 
 
 The true tragedy is
 
 human destiny
 
 governed by
 
 the "darkest universal realities" while
 
 simultaneously creating a world of 
 
 inception- a myriad of dreamt 
 
 illusions. 
 
 
 
 The Gay Science,
 
 New Struggles,
 
 The Madman, 
 
 The meaning of our cheerfulness.
 
 Kind sir, I quote you once more:
 
 "Must we ourselves not become gods simply to
 
 appear worthy of it?"
 
 The bereavement of our Lord 
 
 streams in bright bloody billboards 
 
 across the globe. 
 
 Recent discursive with dear
 
 Grim Reaper, 
 
 humbly reminded Us of Jesus, 
 
 a man acting only through
 
 love. 
 
 
 
 Your words both touch and perturb me: God Is Dead.
 
 
 
 False, Friedrich Nietzsche! 
 
 If we are the previous misconceptions 
 
 of our ancestry, the balance of 
 
 pleasure and logic, the illusions of hope
 
 -then it is evident we live through God. 
 
 Our endeavors, although not constant,
 
 should be heavenly. 
 
 
 Sincerely, 
 The Unknown.
