Before Hints Of Appearances Of It

What we have here,
Is a tale of two mindsets.

One believes it can and will do,
What it chooses and pleases to.

While the other seeks to rule and dominate,
The fate of human existence.

Both have put the experience of consciousness,
At risk.
And both reside in the same brain,
That has welcomed insanity as a way of life.
Likened to the giving to kids,
Authority to play with matches...
In a warehouse full of dynamite.

With an accepted dichotomy,
That squeezes to eliminate...
Any remnants of common sense.
Before hints of appearances of it begin to threaten.
