Counter Protests Outside the Pizzeria

Knowledge falls so quickly into expertise,
To give weight to pronouncements otherwise
Vagabond philosophies, instead of
The shared need to be deceived.

What we learned was useless after all.
With a turn of a switch, new values emerged
That we instantly accepted, that freedom
Is slavery, health is disease, logic ...

Any mind that is used now must be stopped
By any means necessary--that is what
Our cultivation of what is true and just
And immortal was for:

To feel your bones physically crushed,
Not some vague sense all hope was lost.
