Paper Artillery

The Organization has weaponized discourse
This occurred about three thousand years ago
Speech for victory not for truth

But maybe they’re right
The ones who claim that dispute
Is the name of the game

Contention and conflict
Lies and verbal armament
Since syntax first fell into place

Like that diet styled paleolithic
Flesh and internal organs
Devoured of the slaughtered

The originary myth carouses
Force hails its own triumph
While reason fragile outpost languishes

I demand that you accede to
The invitation to the dance
The goose-stepping incursion
