Pronoia

I'm sympathetic to people who are paranoid
Because it's hard to know what fear is irrational these days
But there is a greater dread that can come from the void
Paranoia is a feeling that life is even worse than it portrays

The world is so cynical, so here's something new
Whose aim is to do good and nothing more
Once you know it, it's something you can't undo
Pronoia, a conspiracy you'll see is worth fighting for

And though this premise may make you laugh
Pronoia states that the Universe is a conspiracy on your behalf
Act of kindness done without needing credit
Favours shared silently without being in debit

There's goodness happening around this earth
People helping one another to counteract fate's curse
And its definition spreads just by being taught

Its a two-way conspiracy, and we need your support

Help others without reason, we're a kind employer.
The world is fighting for you. The world is Pronoia.

Rewriting the intro from my pronoia poem from 2012. I wanted to perform it, but I think the start came off as slightly downplaying legitimate fears (and also was a little bit long at points)
