Ode to the Cowardly Ideologue

Stupid motherfucker burn the whole world down

Starving for attention, you’re the loudest fucking clown

You don’t know what you’re talking ‘bout, yet still you wanna bicker

You swear you are this roaring flame, but bitch you barely flicker

Some people strive to heal the world, and bring a little light…

We’re out here making progress, while you’re ‘trying to prove you’re right’.

Some work to understand, while you just want to look important

They’re trying to make things better, while you’re trying to win endorsement

They’re trying to get to balance, while you’re trying to gain attention

They’re thinking in new ways, while you aspire to pimp convention…

Hence, you’re the perfect weapon in the hands of the oppressor

Instead of self-improvement, you’d just make someone your “lesser”

Instead of getting better, you’d just make the others weaker

‘The discourse of the dying’, and you fight to be the speaker…

Some people strive to heal the world, and bring a little light…

We’re out here making progress, while you ‘fight to prove you’re right’.

You’d sacrifice the future for a victory today…

It doesn’t matter what you win, or type of game you play

…Your addiction to yourself is out on full display

Your ego says to prove your worth, and bitch you will obey…

So fearful of the capable you fight to keep them hidden

Until you can convert them into something that is ridden

And then you’ll seek to use them as a booster to your status

To lay upon their value like their strength’s your fucking mattress

And ‘long as liars tell you you’re important, you’re their slave

And you’ll defend deception til you reach an early grave

The irony of cowards masquerading as the brave…

And claiming they’re “trailblazing” on the paths already paved

Some people strive to heal the world, and bring a little light…

We’re out here making progress, while you’re ‘trying to prove you’re right’.
