Paranoia & Ignorance

Paranoia was born on the breath of a back-alley drunk
Who was shouting at street merchants about
resurrections and the government.
She lay in wait around every dark corner
and every bad dream.
She put nations on their toes
and individuals in hysterics.
She plagued the Earth with unkown troubles,
and she was never so dangerous
as with her sister, Ignorance.

Ignorance was bork at the burning of a heretic.
She swept the land like Pokemon and Pet Rocks,
a rabid craze that made mouths foam.
She overturned walls of enlightened thought,
letting Paranoia reap upon the wasted,
twin deadly powers of group mentality,
self-eating snakes of justifiable cause.
They live in every burning cross,
in every tainted bowl of punch,
in every conforming believer.
These sisters of de-individualization,
they live in you and me.
