At Dumb Shit Corner -- poetry with a message

Are you standing at Dumb Shit Corner,
SubGenius, with troubled brow?
Are you thinking of what is before you
And all you are bearing now?
Does all the world seem against you
And you in the battle alone?
Remember---at Dumb Shit Corner
Is just where you'll get the bone.

Are you standing at Dumb Shit Corner,
Your work before you spread
Your lying and stealing unfinished
And pressing on heart and head
Longing for strength to do it,
Stretching out trembling hands?
Remember---at Dumb Shit Corner
The Smirking Smoker stands.

Are you standing at Dumb Shit Corner?
Then you're just in the very spot
To learn the wondrous resources
Of him who careth not;
No doubt to a brighter pathway
Your footsteps will soon be moved
But only at Dumb Shit Corner
Is "One Born Every Minute" proved.
