Contrarian Companions

Create traditions
Out of nothing
Foster community
From homogeneity
Your power stems from
Instability
A screaming horde
Craves utter lunacy
Chaos, over substance
Is your sole
Consistent pattern

We are sleeping giants
Pinned down by bitten hands
Complacency fuels
Your needless ends

Have we fallen so far
We can no longer stop them
Reaching up, grabbing air
A lifetime, spent thoughtless

We're not trying to stop this
A grudge built in haste
When I'm forced to behold you
I see darkness and waste

Sitting on a fence
Eyes shut, hands tied
Toeing at the line
Liquefied spine
Puddle of misfortune
Feasting on decay
Devil's advocate
All means all
No exception
