Relativism on Five Choices a Day

To maintain in the void, reselect your world interface each morning.
Gnosticism will only get you locked away;
Get a latté, put on business casual dress, and kiss the feet of Heaven, or Hell.

In the little spaces, insert a truth that appeals,
Morality, after all, is only affinity for one construct or another
And when all is said and done, few will know, fewer will care.

Did you really eat a microwave burrito for lunch?
Existentially, it was just as likely filét mignon.

Did you dry up in a cubicle and pound your chest out of aimlessness?
No, you spent the day with a superman, who doted on your empty declarations.

All bets are on. God(s/ess/esses) will care, or not, depending on your fancy.
You've got less time than a rock to render what suits you,
Followed by grit and coffin damn all.

The prophet, the cross walk, hatred, charity
Share nonexistence in perfect harmony
None better than another apart from quality time with each.
