Altruism’s Poison

 Altruism’s Poison

For the good of humanity, the greater good, what clarity!

Trite words that slither and slide, escaping scrutiny

The tautology’s to link words with justice and candy

A lie brought to you by, Never Mind the Minority

Altruism raises its evil head from the sacrificial altar

Hear its praises read, by the morality dictators

But there’s no momentary pause to think on what they’ve said

For we know that rational self-interest’s a sin to dread

And this minority, that’s the smallest of all

It’s you the individual, the only valid call

Liberty politically is usurped by the group

Explodes it into oblivion thru’ an unearned guilt coup

And emotions become that of the schadenfreude voyeurs

Forced to deny “I”, creates angry, suspicious airs

So failure and sacrifice of another becomes sport

Cannibalistic society’s the thief become king and no recourse
