Ayn Rand who wrote Atlas Shrugged presented her beliefs in Objectivism, where rational self interest is the ultimate truth and reality, where altruism and empathy are seen as flaws and Laissez Faire capitalism as the only rational means of production.
At events spiraling
Where chaos disguises subterfuge
Creation of heroes who are not heroes
Purely to seed dissension
A body hanging from a university tree
With unlikely excuses spread as gospel
Two political figures shot dead at home
With no administrative recognition
A dead podcaster treated as royalty
With no government affiliation
Insanity and persecution is today’s
Execution of civil rights
Terror designation created
That eliminate travel mobility
Social media is today’s battlefield
Data privacy is nonexistent
As a private entity collects
And monitors data
On our every move
An imminent police state
Faux Christian values espoused
That Kill kindness and empathy
Created by a small club
That is considered righteous
Any contradiction treated as blasphemy
Ayn Rand philosophy plays out
With any semblance of collaborative
Effort considered dysfunctional
Combined with toxic religious theocracy
This has been planned for decades
Made possible by the ultimate disrupter
Where narratives are the plan
Facts are optional and valued
Only if it agrees with the spoken narrative
When the chaos stops
The disrupter is no longer needed
Our future constrained by social rigidity
While we search for what went wrong

When The Chaos Stops
I feel confused and concernedAt events spiraling
Where chaos disguises subterfuge
Creation of heroes who are not heroes
Purely to seed dissension
A body hanging from a university tree
With unlikely excuses spread as gospel
Two political figures shot dead at home
With no administrative recognition
A dead podcaster treated as royalty
With no government affiliation
Insanity and persecution is today’s
Execution of civil rights
Terror designation created
That eliminate travel mobility
Social media is today’s battlefield
Data privacy is nonexistent
As a private entity collects
And monitors data
On our every move
An imminent police state
Faux Christian values espoused
That Kill kindness and empathy
Created by a small club
That is considered righteous
Any contradiction treated as blasphemy
Ayn Rand philosophy plays out
With any semblance of collaborative
Effort considered dysfunctional
Combined with toxic religious theocracy
This has been planned for decades
Made possible by the ultimate disrupter
