The Ideological Way
There you go again,
talking as if you have no sin.
Call people names,
despite wearing armor made of tin.
***
You pound your chest,
proclaiming your beliefs are the best.
And you forget those thoughts
coming from the rest.
***
You get hooked on your ideological way
and babble and rant through night and day.
Much about “truth” you don’t understand
when your enemies show you the righteous way.
***
You talk about others drinking the ‘Kool-Aid’,
when you hear your opponent’s tirade.
But you’re stuck on your ideological way,
and a hypocrite you’ve been made.
***
Oh, you and your ideological way;
Critical thinking fades away.
Logic is an aberration
and the meaning of facts decay.
Left, right, center:
just black and white thoughts enter.
One’s the enemy
and compromise is just a dreamy blur.
***
Divide you want
from those who don’t share your thought.
Evil you call them,
such talk reveals civility you never bought.
***
You think you possess the Golden Rule
and those you oppose as brainless fool.
Such tough talk
from a following tool.
***
Yes, you battle for your ideological way,
drowning out other’s ability for a say.
Your mental slavery
only means you really don’t have much to say.
