normal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or rather thinking then writing&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you realise that thousands of turkeys and thousands of trees&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is this going to be a Christmas fact Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are slaughtered each year to celebrate a single birth&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not listening Stan not listening Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La la La la La La&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finished yet&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is an interesting fact&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose you are a turkey happy in a yard&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living a turkeys life&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have turkey&nbsp;plans&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then you are cruelly executed&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And end up on the plate of some fat cunt you shits you out a few hours later&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La La La La La La&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you think that God wants that as he loves his all of his creatures&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then we kill therm&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But we are veggies Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is because we have seen the light&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many others have not&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The turkey I was talking about might have understood the Tractatus Logico Philosophicus&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What&nbsp;makes you think that&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because I do not know&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And now the poor creature is in the body of the fat cunt next door&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also in the fridge ready for sandwiches&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fat cunt might be going to the park with his family&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is Christmas after all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cat will eat the rest and shit in the residential gardens&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wonder what Ludwig would have made of that&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuck knows&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why have you written&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Amateur Assassin on your blotting pad&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why should I have not written The Amateur Assassin on my blotting pad<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are there any laws in the universe that say that I should not do this&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I might have just as easily written monkey on the blotting pad&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But you have written The Amateur Assassin on your blotting pad&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is because we are all amateurs&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amateur people&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I decided to assassinate lets say a politician who has offended me with his or her views<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would I be anything more than an amateur assassin&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nobody is paying me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am assassinating the said cunt because I disagree with his or her views&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is likely that I would be successful at least once&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe twice or a number of times&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I would be caught&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because you are an amateur&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No because I would become careless&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Would a professional assassin fall into this trap&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes possibly the only difference is the money&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many people who in theory offend me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stan you are a Christian&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God would not be pleased with you&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God would understand&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">God is Love&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He would understand that I was forced to assassinate a monster&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A monster in your eyes Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A monster who would cause harm to those who cannot defend themselves&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He would understand&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would be caught and told how evil I was by a judge who watches pornography in his spare time and discreetly seeks the company of whores or rent boys when nobody is looking&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is a bleak outlook Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you dispute my thoughts&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No I know that this does happen&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This judge has the power over me and if there was a death penalty would send me to the gallows<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead he would tell me what a piece of shit I was and send me to prison for a long time&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would be a hero to many&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They would admire me&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would write books in prison explaining my thoughts and subsequent actions&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not an animal&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am Love&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In time they would bore of me and I would be released&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all I only assassinated those who had it coming&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After my release I would seek out the final resting places of those I have assassinated and stand over them&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I would&nbsp;not gloat as to gloat is cheap but I would whisper to them that I am love and that is why I killed you&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am sorry that I killed you but I am Love&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Others might have agreed with their views&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They may have been buried at sea<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That would fuck you up&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many ways I agree with you Stan but you cannot be a judge a jury and an executioner&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have a point Jane but someone has to stop the runaway train before the final station<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not really a festive conversation Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I agree&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would never kill anyone&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibly&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All your assassinations and gruesome deeds occur in your poems and fictions&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Agreed&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You would not even hurt a troublesome insect&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You are Love Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you going to complete your fiction&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am almost there&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It would be nice to just drift around London and maybe hook up with friends&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The walk would be just an excellent excuse to watch the day pass before us&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be ready in ten&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The same&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There I have thrown my pen into the bin&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My fiction is complete&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stan&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jane&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Who is the main character in this fiction&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">William Wilson&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A chap named William Wilson&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
