I can't tell the difference anymore.

Who's side you're fighting for?

The tactics you deploy 

resemble those you claim to deplore.

 

Playing the role of victim

while mirroring your opposition.

 

Punching down,

Stomping out what you know you can easily destroy.

 

You know knowledge and ideas are dangerous.

That's how words become violence,

incite.

It's what must be done to silence.

 

I can't see the difference anymore.

Who's side are you fighting for?

The words you hate

sound the same of those you scorn.

 

***

 

Crater in the 'free world'

The extremities reach themselves around.

A snake eating it's own tail,

out of first world boredom.

Life has become too easy.

Chip away at the foundations.

Destabilize society.

 

Driven by our irrational,

reactionary nature.

Easily toyed with.

Inundate a false sense of

fear, comfort

and righteous privilege.

 

We're playing our roles perfectly.
