Mob Frenzy: Rationality Lay Dead

Mob frenzy - 'rationality lay dead'!

Amidst all frenzy - rationality lay dead!
does excited mind ever bring any good ?
Of what use is knowledge, if it falls prey;
leaving reason behind and enters the fray!

Game of numbers, not a way to succeed;
melee prevail, process of thinking recede!
Headless and rudderless - lost insight,
creeps-in only towards muscular might!

Tradition and culture that's set on violence,
blunts thinking men, stunts thinkers to silence!
Nature's law is ever to progressively adapt,
in long run, it's seen to successfully redact.

Matter of time for thy realisation to dawn,
opportunist, played you a sacrificial pawn!
Doomed is the cause found on false premise,
resultant effect - towards its natural demise!
