Damnable Man

After the revolution
intelligence became irrelevant
as emotion ruled the day
and a payback mentality held sway

State sponsored media
spun incendiary stories
to stoke mob insanity
as violence became
the sanctioned way
to obliterate dissent

Then the inevitable consequence
when the beast pushed too far
the pendulum swung and hit back hard

Those who ruled by the sword
were eventually sliced and diced

Their bloody remains
stain the pages of our history

To be repeated again and again

The cycle of stupidity

The curse of humanity
