No Glisten

"In individuals, insanity is rare;
but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule"
So said the German philosopher
And, with that, he gave us a picture of the truth
As if he were a photographer

And it is a picture of today
2024
A picture of a party and nation
Crazed like never before 

Many of us would tell you
The man himself is insane
But perhaps Friedrich Nietzsche would tell us
It is we who bear that shame

Ninety-one counts of crime
Thousands of mental health practitioners warning us against him
And yet we will not listen
If that isn't insanity, then gold has no glisten
