The Epidemic
Location
The calm before the storm
The silence before the horn
Reason has sworn
History has forewarned
Examine
Lurking in plain sight
This villain
Creeping through young minds
Will pillage
Destroying lives
And finish
Down the human race will dive
How the lies have spread
Preaches that the human race is already dead
When life is the only thing we comprehend
This disease has to be put to an end
Reason and rationality have led the way
From primitive thinking humans break away
Created legends that have changed history
Yet common sense has become a mystery
We have given power to a higher being
That has been proven nonexistent
Justifying all the bleeding
To a figment, we are assistants
Emotion is not a call for action
Choice comes with a reaction
But if we choose logically
Individuals will reach a harmony
Altruism has caused wars
By teaching to serve the common good
In reality it has done more harm
Keeping our greatness under the hood
I make an oath to serve myself
And in turn I will create wealth
Never to sacrifice people to my life
With this statement the human race will become divine
Please listen carefully
Heed this warning
Before we create darkness
That will cover every morning
The world will suffer
If the thinking is
Sacrifice yourself to others
Starving children
Causing havoc
People will be smothered
But as long as self interest
Is the first priority
And the individual
Is the only minority
Than the human race will understand
Your first service is not to your fellow man
Here is my first call to action
That rational thinking and logic
Are life’s only main attraction
Before we can reach our full potential
Our mindset must change
So our lives can become monumental
