Beliefs

Funny how our system works
when you can believe without a care
but once you disagree
oh no, how could you dare

'please, im sorry'
'I thought we were having a talk'
"well, time for talk is over"
"go away, take a walk"

I agree to disagree
and I believe in disbelief
and to think I am infallible
Do all trees shed a leaf?

Most people around
think a belief can never change
people as obtuse as this
I find it rather strange

Some find it easy
to accept beliefs a new
some equally just as ignorant
and stick to it like glue

Beliefs on word of mouth never get you far
deduce the facts yourself
unless you fancy stupidity
like a hideous facial scar

Life is all theory
two may never be the same
but if you insist on illogic
stick to your drinking game
