The Deep Hate
Mirrored in the populist mind
I see cognitive distortion
Twisting logic into a bind
You might call a thought's abortion,
Soon swept into the hateful state
Of inconsistency and blame
As when good meat gets used as bait
In a daft and dangerous game.
Now spy the glass to double check
And see if things are truly great
Or if indeed it's all a wreck
Presaging an unwholesome fate,
Of crystal in a shattered wake,
Where it might have looked for daybreak.
