Psycho-Dips

Once my community lived in trust and in peace,

then Psycho-Dips began moving in.

They fed off of disrupting social life,

and people gradually lost touch with one another.

Before long general rules and laws were needed that applied indiscriminately to everyone,

with no allowance for judgment.

For example, as a security measure, girls could not wear pocketbooks to school unless they were see-through.

Now, if you knew a girl to be good, it would stand to reason that you would not require her to follow this rule;

but it only took one Psycho-Dip to screw things up for everybody.

.

Life became an anonymous activity as the Psycho-Dips acquired power.

They sought power obsessively, and obtained it,

in spite of their complete disregard for others, for accepted behavior,

and for rules and laws in general.

Civilization grew dark, impersonal, and cold, and everyone died

without the will to procreate.

The Psycho-Dips died last, first cruelly laughing at others,

then crying over themselves, then mad at everyone,

then, in the very end, just plain dumbfounded.

.

.

Then everyone was brought back to life. 

.

.

A program was initiated to identify Psycho-Dips.

As it turned out, based on perception alone,

everyone was classified as a Psycho-Dip

in one aspect or another.

Everyone was executed, and once again the human race ended.

The last executioner? He had to execute himself,

for he was also perceived as a Psycho-Dip.

(He debated, of course, since he was the only person left alive-

no one would know and he’d die of old age anyway;

but honor being honor…)

.

.

Then everyone was put back together and brought back to life again.

(you don’t want to know the method of execution)

.

.

This time emphasis was placed on 'community'.

That system broke-down when the Psycho-Dip's goons took control.

The human race entered a new Dark Age,

and everyone died of a simple bacteria,

for all medical knowledge had been either discarded, lost, or destroyed.

.

This time the human race stayed dead.

.

For a while.

.

They were all brought back to life again

and were told to communicate more, and raise their children right.

No one was shown how, and everyone died again.

.

For good.

.

But they resurfaced in a different part of the galaxy,

and screwed that up, too.

.

The universe was expanded in space in time to a point

where the Psycho-Dip race could never reach another civilization.

So, to this day, the Psycho-Dips have a galaxy all their own.

.

To screw up.

.

The galaxy became known as ngc4414-9925,

more commonly referred to as the Psycho-Dip galaxy,

which is shown above.
