Intrincated Scapegoat - Implore

Searching for a common enemy

Against whom we can unite,

Came up with the idea of pollution,

Global warming, famine and the like…

In their totality and interactions

These phenomena do constitute

A common threat

Designating these dangers

As the enemy,

We fall into a trap

All these dangers

Are caused by humans

In natural processes,

It’s only through changed attitudes

And behavior that can be overcome.

Advanced forms of biological warfare

Of terror is the weapon they use

The real enemy then is

The ploy of finding a scapegoat

As old as mankind itself —

When things become too difficult,

The blame will always be on you.
