Poor Nietzsche’s Valentine

And then there was poor Nietzsche
who alone saw the wool being pulled
over everyone’s dazzled eyes
(our still manipulated lives)
himself torn down by his own
chilly inability to love
though he saw the cowardice
at the core of the human soul
he knew it was planted there
by fear and mass deceit
by powerful invisible forces
to which he finally succumbed
forced to sing for the enemy
his fight left to those who can see
