A dark figure gazes down upon the Earth, from atop a mountainous peak.
Known as the Prince of Darkness, or perhaps as Evil Incarnate,
His very being yearning to destroy this world and all that live upon it.

Silently he stares out into the world, struggling with a burning rage
A single red tear of molten fire falling from his face.

Even with power and might such as his,
What more could he possibly do
to increase the pain in this world?

After watching the news last night, dug this up to share with you guys. Not entirely sure how we've come to the point we're at now.
But I actually agree with the point in that poem.

Who needs some arch-nemesis when we can do such a good job of destroying things ourselves?

And while digging through my old emails, I found this.

Personally I prefer this.




Pierre, a brave French fighter pilot, takes his girlfriend,

Marie, out for a pleasant little picnic by the River Seine.
It's a beautiful day and love is in the air. Marie leans over to
Pierre and says, "Pierre, kiss me!" Pierre grabs a bottle of
Merlot and splashes it on Marie's lips. "What are you doing,
Pierre?" says the startled Marie.
"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot! When I have red meat,
I have red wine!"
She smiles and they start kissing. Things began to heat up a
little and Marie says, "Pierre, kiss me lower."
Our hero tears her blouse open, grabs a bottle of Chardonnay
and pours it on her breasts.
"Pierre! What are you doing now?" asks the bewildered Marie.
"I am Pierre, the fighter pilot!
When I have white meat, I have white wine!"
She giggles and they resume their passionate interlude, and
things
really steam up. Marie leans close to his ear and whispers,
"Pierre, kiss me much lower!" Pierre rips off her underwear,
grabs
a bottle of Cognac and pours it in her lap.
He then strikes a match and lights the cognac on fire.
Marie shrieks and dives into the River Seine. Standing waist
deep,
Marie throws her arms into the air and screams furiously,
"PIERRE, WHAT IN THE F#@* DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?"
Our 'hero' stands and says defiantly, "I am Pierre, the fighter
pilot!
If I go down, I go down in flames!"
