The Human Condition - Part V

The human race 
Is far from grace;
Minds clouded by unreason.

Warmed by our illusions,
We thrive upon confusion;
Cold truth would leave us freezing.

We tell ourselves that it's OK, 
No matter what the sceptics say;
Our nervousness needs easing.

We place our trust in ruthless folk, 
Who round our necks would place a yoke;
The alternative's too fearsome.
