Social Atrocities

The edge of reason
The forefront of insanity
Oh how we choose to alleviate it
To dismiss the latter as if it were a blemish
To bless the further beyond any reasonable doubt
That is how it works
For us to choose such a mechanism
One which drives us to love that which is similar
And to alienate that which is different
To be cast into a an abyss of forgetfulness
Never again to be touched by the light of day
That is, unless someone else falls victim to it
Because we are our own prey
