Critical Mass

I fancy an age that does not yet exist.
When insight and reason are allowed to persist.
That helps us find details that are so often missed.
So that act without thinking isn't so much a twist.

The enclaves are trenched in their group minded ways.
With safety in numbers they hate women and gays.
Or seeking to ostracize any that strays.
To destroy any "others" to the end of their days.

Surrounded by people who decide on their own.
Who evaluate evidence and data that's shown.
That don't need to pedestal or dogma enthrone.
That do not demand each and all be a clone.

With shrewdness of mind and skeptical will
they avoid unreasoned urges that tell them to kill.
With no spite for those who don't quite fit the bill
that town, church, or nation works to instill.

When debate has a value instead of just sass.
Without flights of fancy that lead to impasse.
With no congregation to enforce the morass.
So that more than are not form a Critical Mass.
