They Pray

They Pray

Antithesis is my thesis, opposition to perfection

Not imperfection but good which stands in stasis fighting infection

For perfection is the Utopia of minds infected with myopia

A human condition seeking godlike error, a fevered dystopia

Nature collides with mankind’s bromides

Sayings without stature that seek to placate

For thinking requires the inert to become alert

And cognitive dissonance is a rather persistent insert

But the challenge to Nature carries on despite Sir Bacon’s strum

Nature obeyed is laughed off in a donkey-like bray

Psychological alchemy that stretches like Lamarck’s remarks leading astray

Stretched giraffe necks and imaginary grain train bottlenecks

Starvation’s the logical conclusion when the mind is fed delusion

Blame someone and begin an investigation

Truth’s not important, ask any government department

Pray and play until all that’s left is Nature’s way, evolution ‘til destruction
