Assassin before Dawn



Assassin before Dawn

Age of the Individual, ballyhoo and ritual
For despite all, logical and reasonable, the cleave is to the tribal
Western society peaked when carriages were drawn
Aristotle’s child’s death, met with a yawn

Along came the assassin’s of the Western dawn
To save religion, rescue superstition and structure demolition
How dare the Renaissance then Industrial Revolution!
Engendering self reliance and enabling volition

Die rational self-interest and placing love first
Arise! the sacrificial altruist championing other’s thirst
Suffer your own, for that’s the way into heaven
Tax and spend until matzah seems like leaven

So we devolve philosophically and intellectually
While expanding exponentially technologically
Along the line comes the clash and all will decline
Civilization’s not only mathematics but ethics of the sublime
