Some of my otherwise brilliant and productive friends
(like scoundrels and their flags) take final refuge in
Character a**a**inations;
They ignore the issue and deny the relation between
Our consumption and brutality
So you can go ahead and roll your eyes and marginalize me/socially penalize me:
Play on my insecurities
And you can feign ignorance, but you're not stupid, you're just selfish
And you're a slave to your impulse
And I kinda thought we all shared common threads
In that we gravitated here to challenge the conventions we've been fed
By a culture that treats (living, breathing, feeling) creatures like (biological) machines
And if you buy that sh** then how long 'till it's me
Who serves as your commodity?
Through (for example), institutionalized violence and oppression of workers and women raped by s**ism (and how about native americans?)
Do you still insist on feigning indignance (aka: indignation) to reason?
To collective self-interest?
Tell you what- I'll call you on your sh**, PLEASE CALL ME ON MINE
Then we can grow together and make this sh**-hole planet better in time
So why not consider someone else
