Pandoraโs chest has been quarantined
The box is locked and contravened
Misinformation lay in between
The fragile sides within the box
Danger festers underneath the lid
It was never meant to be truly hid
Truth has never been more turbid
Truth should never be a paradox
Humanity spirals out of control
Violent tendencies out on parole
Sounds of screams are a death knoll
Common sense is no longer orthodox
Careening toward the distant end
On human kindness we canโt depend
The contents of the box distend
Please do not open
Please do not open
