Equilibrium - Slice The Cake

All is not well in this conjugal state
Of stalemate interdependence
Fragile mirror image hanging on a knife edge
A microcosmic indecency
A new kind of metafiction
To recreate the bigger picture
Given the kiss of death before
It had its chance to breathe
And breathe it shall
I bear witness to the monolith
Of self evident cowardice
Born and bred of infallibility
Is human nature not the culprit
Unanimous in our contempt of
The regressive sense of intuitive momentum
We abandon all common reason
To adapt to being poisoned
So we shall breathe smoke collective
In our pursuit of self destruction
Who propagates the seeds of
Discontent in the hearts of men
For fertile soil bears no grudge
Against the flowering of beauty
A state of equilibrium must be unearthed
Lest the scales tip all too far
And bury the diamonds in the rough
