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
