The Fragmentationalists

The fundamental maxim Of the fragmentationalists Is embedded in abstractions Of *in extremis* axioms Unfathomable antics Sequestered in semantics Self-truths that beg defiance From the factualness of science  And we are us to us As they are us to them And they are them to us As we are them to them  Once language was important In attempts to sublimate Now we self-fulfil all prophesies With talk of war and hate The egocentric narcissist Who only says, “I am” Whose greed for self surpasses us Is now the “everyman”  And we are us to us As they are us to them And they are them to us As we are them to them  Rationalised economies Nationalised theonomies Political protectionism Profiteering acquisition Trickling down as micturition On the dis-em-manumissioned Drowned in rising imposition Of fractious factitious perdition  And we are us to us As they are us to them And they are them to us As we are them to them  And the fragmentationalists declare  This is just Like war  We must reframe our language – To gain a clear advantage Rephrase the lingua franca To justify our rancour  To speak in words of weapons Our lexicon – aggression Pre-emptively to threaten Malignant Armageddon  The enemy to be opposed Our enmity to be composed All threats to be eliminated All empathy exterminated  And the fragmentationalists declare  This is just, Like war  And we are us to us As they are us to them And they are them to us As we are them to them
