Unashamedly Yes I Have Also 2 Admit 2
Unashamedly Yes but unfortunately
I also have to admit to doing this my own self
Otherwise who am I then in fact
No better in fact rather so far much worse
If I know the truth yet then espouse lies
Merely to justify and further
My own agenda and self righteous cause
Never willing nor wishing ever
To exchange in frank intellectual debate
Acting more in tandem with say
Likes of a child than an adult
Maybe because I might just be found out
And so intitled I then appropriate myself
Fit to speak on behalf of everyone concerned
And to me that just shows their hand
And proves how much exactly they care
Because otherwise they would realize
They are in fact not the solution but problem
And they are the greatest gift of all
Not to what they are supposedly against
But rather a means precipitating it's downfall
Funny how the people who are placed
Front and center as the face and mouthpiece
Always seem to be unelected or represent
The people or cause they are fighting for
But all have very similar characteristics
A decisive personality stunningly lacking
Any form of credibility or grasp
Of the subject matter at hand
Nor the basic ability to tackle or wrestle
Anything in an eloquent or intellectual way
Which if they did and I am sure
There definitely is better candidates
Wouldn't therefore antagonize and ostracize
And turn even those off who did initially agree
With them at first they were supposedly
Trying to defend against injustice and hate
Not conversely leading to further more hate
Rather a self inflicted case of self harm
To those poor already afflicted and suffering
Again I only presume and assume
Knowing full well I may probably be wrong
Merely my own personal individual opinion
As I do not speak on behalf of other people
What each thinks and believe is up to them
I just don't choose to buy into is
What appears to me before my eyes
As a shinning example and act of pure fakery
Masquerading and being believed
As anything else but what it clearly is
A clever trick of disesimenating propaganda
Through pure lies and misinformation
Because at the end of the day
If these people represent us
Hey it doesn't really matter at all does it
So what are we complaining about then
As everything is just fine and dandy
Thing's couldn't possibly get or be any better
And that isn't a subject either
That's up for debate and that can only lead
To someone being hated on just a little bit more
