Cowering like settlers on someone else’s landMistaking advances of the natives who have come to lend a handIt’s a sad and pathetic badge of shame my friendsTerror always seems to winIn the drama of human motivationWhere is restraint and reason?Threat is urgent, existentialWith patience wearing thinBut the danger’s elementalIt’s chaos from withinThe fox-stained leaves of civilization depict a stark repeatIt’s always a flaw in reasoning that fates a citizenryWhen the ancestor fell from the arbor, the march of fear beganBut the predator wallowed in failure in the face of consciousnessThreat is urgent, existentialTime to scan the horizonBut the danger’s elementalIt’s chaos from withinThreat is urgent, existentialOmnipresent like a skinBut the danger’s purely mentalIt’s chaos from withinChaos from within!
