Paranoid Vistas

Who is behind all the trouble?
Is it the blacks, the whites, the Asians, Native Americans or the Eskimos?
Is it the Christians, the Jews, the Moslems, the Buddhists, the Humanists?
Let me let you in on a little secret 
They all are!
If you are paranoid you will find that 
your fears may well be justified 
Trouble is about to arrive 
So prepare yourself 
Hold onto your place in the galaxy 
For there are meteors and
 comets 
of all descriptions
which may strike you down 
Paranoid Vistas 
Something to ponder 
While you await deep winter
Which always comes when the warmth dies
