Work Text:
Sit down
Pay attention
Shut the fuck up
Deny by default
Hate out of habit
You never learn
Because you
Crucify the messenger
Coward
Bully
Traitor
Not to this nation
Fuck this country
Traitor to the ideology
You supposedly uphold
Walking blindly
Carrying the status quo
On your empty words
In your empty skull
Because that is how you survive
That is how the things nice to you
Don’t have to change
So smother the threat to lifelong luxury
Let’s drop the pretense
Your values are dead
As dead as the innocent
Your sacrifices of blissful ignorance
Your words are as empty
As the lives of millions
Struggling to survive
Coward
Bully
Traitor
The heroes you fetishize
The men you idolize
The practice you preach
Could not be
More comically contradictory
You are a plague
Of cognitive dissidence
A disease of habitual hypocrisy
Carry on, carry on
Tell yourself its right
But really it’s safe
It’s spineless, tasteless, thoughtless
The illusion of a coward
Coward
Heretic
Tyrant
Traitor
I will live forever
In the integrity
Of my morality
And your name
Will be eroded away
By the sands of history
Another faceless tyrant
Forgotten as just one
Of countless oppositions
To the eternal philosophy
That you wear
But do not hold
Coward
Traitor
Look
In the fucking mirror
