Unfounded fear drives them
It's what they've been taught
And what they believe
Fuels the chaos they've wrought
Fear of change makes them anxious
Strains their weary eyes
They should be content
Their rants say otherwise
They don't even believe
Half of what they say
The lies that they tell
Have etched lines in each face
They just need a patsy
That sucker is you
Someone to do their bidding
Their dirty work, too
With all that they have
With so much to choose
What consumes them most
Even they can't excuse
They're all involved now
Could, but won't turn around
Their minds are imprisoned
No wisdom is found
They've inflicted such harm
That their guilt overwhelms
So obsessed with revenge
They've deluded themselves
They're itching for war
Yet no one responds
Still they prod and provoke
Those they've trampled upon
Apathy, ignorance
On every hand
The division they fuel
The violence fanned
Will cost them more
Than they even know
The stress is too great
It's beginning to show
In their own homes they find
The results of their hate
The sad consequences
Of learning too late
That complicity costs
The seeds that you sow
Often circle back
When the winds start to blow
They can't even fake
How little they care
Cushioned by wealth
No grief to share
No real regard
For ethics or law
Quick to point out
Your every flaw
Ignoring grace
They think they have time
A reckoning day, may I remind
Is coming for them
As it's been known to do
Bringing needed relief
And Justice, too
