you ignore reality
when the influence
of cause+effect
are negated
creating views
of circumstances
which obscure
truthful, intelligent observation
be it by ignorance,
arrogance or neglect,
it is your choice, not ours
which has brought us here
to the precipice of disaster
the war gods dues, a human sacrifice
you must really believe us fools
or is it all just a clever ruse
to procure sanction for far worse dirty tricks, in effort to boldly, unapologetically loot the treasury for the profit of the few
while we the many continue
to suffer losses
in every aspect of our lives
all in the interest
of expanding the legacy
of your empire
