Poisoned Rationality

enemies among friends
violence never ends
find a familar enemy far away to blame together
for the reasons we have become destitute this way

whole societies blamed for the actions of one
paranoias manipulated
this is not rational thinking

mind cornered with logic to think one of a few things
its too logical to be insanity
too sane to be blasphemy
and to blasphemous to be true

ways of the land
and cultures blamed
they get along great over here

what of their diet
quality of air or soil
poisoned rationality coming from somewhere

another act for man
testing waters of war torn countries
so we can all breath a fresher breath of air

Peacekeeping can be messy
and as painful as it is to repeat myself
i may just find a way to rip your heart out
for it may happen to you in turn as the ways we tend to poison ourselves
poison rationality or not
i just ask you to please pace yourself

mindful of logical consequences cornering the mind this way
blasphemous truths becoming reality
needing an unreachable enemy
for survival until the savior truthfuly soothesays
