Aristotle's Revenge

The greatest fall of modern civilization,

was abandoing the philosophy that kept us from the coffin.

Aristotle and Aquinas held the keys,

to western civilizations victory.

In his metaphysics they lay,

in his ethics they lie.

But David Hume and company came,

and started the outcry.

From slaughtered babies to a perverted sense of marriage,

our ethics drown in a pool of carnage.

Aritotle's revenge is triumphantly returning,

to the civilization thats's going down burning.

We must return to the way of human value and forms,

before our whole country becomes one big war.

When will the madness end? When will death die?

Only when we wake up, and realize our own moral demise.
