A Riddle For You

You'll learn it like their mighty catechism,
before you ever know it like the back of your hand
and you'll study it like a famous painting
but it may never take life in your weak eyes.

The things they teach in school,
never will ever touch you where this does.


If a word is a whisper,
then an action is screamed at you.
A promise is hollow,
and trust is a precious gem
(fucking poetic now, aren't we?)
and both can be broken, snapped in half, crushed.
Impale yourself in the seas of "fucked"
clench your fists and prepare to bleed.
What if this all = nothing, and that goddamned tripping caterpillar was right?

So what IS greater than God,
and more evil than the devil...?

It's a fucking riddle, you prick
