Mob
Guided by emotion,
We make the rush to Judgment
Torches burning in a rage,
We seek the harshest punishment
The freak, the monster -
Trapped in the windmill -
He's our ready target
In a field of insecurity,
We confine him to the margins
Blinded by emotion,
We preclude all sense of reason
Our base natures, stirred to unrest
We storm in angry legions
The mob, the crowd -
Our weapons drawn -
Our minds made up absolutely
The dissenter's opinion and heresy
Hanged from the tree of scrutiny
Tell me, when did we join this mob?
And shouldn't we cancel our membership?
Our primitive urges and intolerant thoughts
Find our higher selves in their grip
