Please find below a copy of a little known "essay" by Lucas Werner: "Ready to Be a Dad." Perhaps you've read it before. I consider it to be a foundational text of Wernology. Not as amusing as him barking on street corners, but fascinating nonetheless.
While it is his customary garbage in his usual style, a few bits of it truly stand out, which I will quote at some length:
Note that Lucas does have a place in this world: Eastern State Hospital. Pardon the digression.
The essay leaves the impression that, despite Lucas's broken reasoning and schizo fixations, he is on the edge of self awareness. He recognizes and can articulate his alienation, loneliness and profound sense of failure. He can almost see himself.
Of course, he backs away in time before self knowledge can crush him. He will not accept that he is an unfit father, totally unprepared to care for a child and biologically ill suited as a fat lunatic to procreate; rather, he settles on the idea that fatherhood will redeem him.
He is capable of doing something with his life: having a kid! He recognizes on some level that his 40 years have been utterly meaningless and produced nothing of value to anyone but cruel, mocking Wernologists.
Let him use his dick, bitches, and he will have a place in the world, human connection, and purpose.

...I feel starting a family will ease my tortured loneliness...
... starting a family would ease my heartbroken sense of not having a place in this world...

I don't want to be lonely anymore. I'm sick of the greif [sic]
I was always a lonely kid, but the past 6 years have been the worst, so I think having children and a wife will bring me further away from isolation from the human experience...
My sense of jealousy drives me.
