Anyone who thinks that humans are nothing more than than the dominant species of animal
is pulling a sick joke on themselves.
It is the biggest joke in human history.
We slaughter each other out of fear.
We fuck out of fear.
We make laws because we're terrified of each other.
We trudge on out of fear of death.
Love runs out and becomes a punchline.
There is no afterlife and the grave becomes a love song.
The universe is chaos and no one has the balls to acknowledge it.
Just flip a coin and see how your day goes.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
