The Boy And His Bat

Whatcha doin?
Hammering nails into a bat.
Why?
Because I have to go talk to someone.
Why?
Because they are very bad listeners.
Why?
Because they're used to not having to and their ears don't work.
Why?
Because that's how it's always been.
Why?
I don't know, kid.
Why?
Because if you ask questions you get your head caved in.
Why?
Because that's how it's always been.
Why?
Because a long time ago the people in power decided
we were not people.
Why?
Their god told them so.
Why?
Because it was easy to believe.
Why?
It was comfortable.
Why?
I don't know, kid.
Why?
I've never felt that way.
Why?
I stopped believing in gods.
Why?
Because Jesus doesn't save.
Why?
Because some things cannot be forgiven.
Why?
If you forgive, they are free to hurt you again.
Why?
Second chances, third chances, and on and on.
Why?
Because killing is wrong.
Why?
Do you want to die?
No.
How would you feel if I took your life away?
Bad.
And how would you feel if I took your life away,
but you didn't die.
I dunno, that sounds weird.
Doesn't it?
Yeah.
Killing is wrong, you got that.
Mhm.
