Hello, my dearest darling
Do you remember me?
I've spent along time waiting
Watching on T.V.
I am the sea from which you rose
(Perhaps you don't recall)
And should the Gods grant you repose
Into my sea you'll fall.
I fill the empty heads of fools
(Who are not in short supply)
They are nothing but the tools
To sound my battle cry.
I'm the fundamental level
Of every Human soul
Reduced to your essentials-
That's when I take control.
You've fought me off for centuries
But I only need win once-
And it's back to aristocracies,
Clergies and witch-hunts.
Your books may grant you succour
Your mind keep me at bay;
But should you ever falter
I'll carry you astray.

A surprising number of people seem to think that it is possible to derrive moral truths from natural ones; that is to say that a certain behaviour is "natural," therefore it must be "right."
I have never understood this position; indeed, I find that some of the most repugnant aspects of Human character are rooted deeply in our genetic and evolutionary history; only by consciously resisting these drives (say, to philander or murder our enemies) can truly behave in moral ways.
