Reputations for Truth

Trusting souls must be questioned for their thought
When trusting fate to lacking intellect
Compliments of great oohs and ahs mean naught
Unless we can explain when we inspect

Why those well trained claim they simply can't see
Those things the future holds for trusted ones
Frantic cries for war as expediency
Makes us wonder why anxiety's puns

Make light of disagreement with their view
Cast about like shadows in a bad light
Soon to engulf those good things we eschew
Pushing structure into incautious fight

Civil wars can erupt from things ill said
Because of redirection of intent
Hastened conflict rituals for the dead
Who models say may come in some event

Those whose groups betrayed our trust once befores
Have been presented as those to be trusted
As history has died at magyar doors
Rewritten before it has been dusted

Peppered by family level changes
Reason has simply been tossed far aside
Affirmative action soon deranges
Even the most well meaning sociocide
