United in Enmity

Fear creeps through every inch of my body Telling me without a doubt that something’s not right A liar, a falsehood, a trick, sleight of hand I’ve been fooled before, won’t be fooled again Misinformation being spread like a plague Breathed one mouth to another, poisoning the herd With each new infection hysteria grows Vigilant to the faintest hint of dissent With defiant and unearned righteousness I’ll disarm your argument and frustrate you endlessly There’s no need to justify that which I know I’ll usе any means to get to my end Rеject the unenlightened Separate, block off, segregate, quarantine Slow the rate, the loss of our values Identify and amputate intolerable truth Draw the blinds on blinding light Manufactured relief, easy to believe Beckon, lure in, and overcome with passion In clever little phrases we’ll conjure the end Burying ourselves in a mountain of enmity Too busy looking out for a way to ascend To watch for the mine planted on the next step Desperately searching for a truth to believe One that is simple, easy to swallow Disagreeing And name calling ‘Til there’s nothing But hatred left Once close friends now Named opponent Loved ones happy Now that you’ve bled Push them down to quell their hate Bring back silence that you crave Grip tight to what’s been gained For fear of being mistaken This hatred of conflicting information is likely of human design But when is the thirst for self-confirming data finally quenched, satisfied? Divided we stand to shout cross the aisle Commanding control of the facts In hopes of creating a better future for you In the end it’s united we’ll fall Misinformation being spread like a plague Breathed one mouth to another, poisoning the herd With each new infection hysteria grows Vigilant to the faintest hint of dissent In clever little phrases we’ll conjure the end Burying ourselves in a mountain of enmity Too busy looking out for a way to ascend To watch for the mine planted on the next step
