Lay In Hell
I heard that Ken Lay just died. He’s the dude who lied and cheated the mighty Enron company into bankruptcy, him and that Skilling dude.
I feel sorry for my favorite weatherman, Tom Skilling, who will always have his surname linked to the public betrayal that was Enron. But I know how he might feel, having lying, shiftless alcoholics and crackheads for family members myself. You just can’t shake that shame.
Here’s hoping Lay is burning in Hell right now. But I doubt it. Because I heard that God is a loving God. He isn’t a judge anymore like he was in the olden times. Instead, he’s like a father, perpetually whupping the sense into our asses on a daily basis. And that’s why we don’t burn when we die. Instead, we go back to Him who created us, and we sit at his feet awaiting the time when we will all be judged. And when that day comes, I hope that Lay burns in the Lake Of Fire.
I know it’s not my place to say that. It’s not even my place to ask. But everyday, it brings pain to my heart to know that not everything will be made right in the end. It pisses me off to know that I will never have justice. And dammit, I want justice. I want for the adversaries of all men to face justice, and be condemned. And unfortunately, that may not be the goal of the Almighty.
My little cousin asked me recently why evil people stay rich, and good people stay poor? And I had to be truthful. Evil people prosper in this world because their god, Satan, is an active God. He brings riches to those that act on his principles. You don’t even have to believe in him. All you have to be is a lying, hateful, piece of crap, and Satan will reward you. The devil layers the ground in gold before all those that live in his way. His gifts are instant.
And a righteous man’s God gives him nothing but hope. He lets his people be tested constantly to prove their worthiness. A righteous man may lose both an eye and a limb, and still never see the sights of heaven, because of the fact that he is always flawed and full of sin. God’s only instant reward is freedom, the freedom to live as you please, even if that way of living might lead you to ultimate death.
And that’s why I have no sympathy for men like Ken Lay, men who have so squandered the gift of freedom and liberty that was bestowed by the Almighty upon all men, who took the faith that his fellow man, his employees, put in him, to lead them all to prosperity, and used it to fatten his own pockets. And like a good “god,” Satan has rewarded this bastard with nothing less than Death.
So now, Ken Lay will not have to spend a day in jail. And the millions that could’ve been pulled out of his ass will probably never be collected. And therefore, his employees, and the public, all who were cheated of millions, will never see justice. There will never be retribution. And once again, events in this world have turned my soul one shade more of blue, from the chill I get from being shortened once again by the passive nature of the universe.
