Please believe the worst of human nature
As Machiavellian motives rule
In sneering disbelief in selflessness
Never was the world gentle and cruel
& while at it here is a crude wager
Support any side to become a mule
Until your unconscious in helplessness
Freaks out more than wonted with its fuel
Fan out your soul if you can locate it
Every level needs to be passed in tow
Remember to water your budding wit
Inciting your ego to nurse a blow
Native of this Earth as long as you thrive
Gains are disdained when the meaning is jive
