Self-sabotage Continuum A litany of poor decisions Forced to live With the ramifications Again, again Making the same mistakes To break the cycle What will it take? A fragile ego Too afraid to look inside Assess your actions Revaluate your life Where does the blame lie? If not at your own feet The onus you should accept To regain respect A newfound scapegoat To place the fault upon Turning a blind eye To your own actions And so, it starts The sequence anew

I, the full sum of naught A face in a crowd Cog in a machine I ignore my own thoughts Tune in and drop out Rinse and repeat Question not what I am told Hive minded, go with the flow My unquestioning belief In all that I know Cannot be deterred My faith is complete My knowledge replete You can’t change my mind The logic of hive mind Ignorance is sublime Rise above Question everything Lies unfold Routinely ignored Shame and disgrace Are swept under the rug The banal in its place To placate the herd Deception everywhere Who should you trust? Faith in your leader Or abject disgust? Quell the uprising Sedate the minds Placate the masses Until the next time I, the full sum of naught A face in a crowd Cog in a machine I, ignore my own thoughts Tune in and drop out Rinse and repeat Reject the hive mind

A cast iron arrangement Is burgeoning ahead The long lost art of polite discourse Is all but fucking dead Pick your hill to die upon And bury your head in the sand Cement your beliefs in your chosen cause And stand your fucking ground Unwavering, Steadfastly Upholding, your judgement No interest, in listening No chance of compromise A pyrrhic, victory Regardless the outcome Fragmented society Consequence; division An exercise in futility Smashing your head on a wall Stubborn refusal to engage Will surely be our downfall Prejudgement based on perception Never truly fully aware An ignorant stance when faced with facts Will be your cross bear Confirmation bias Tells us all we need to know Dismiss all other evidence Minds already made up Divide and conquer The plan all along Never to see eye to eye A schism by design

Sneering, egoism, blind to the damage done Attrition drove by insults Renege, feigning ignorance Inflated sense of self-worth Fuels delusions of grandeur Faux projection of the image That you the world to see A pitiful disguise Belittle to boost self-esteem A clear and obvious lack of respect Ire from the ivory tower Recipient of pointless glower Determined to a fault, ignorance defined Shaping perceptions, of those you leave behind Beyond reproach, vehement denial Held in high regard, at least in your own mind Faux self-assurance Sustained by invectives Blind to the attrition Absolved of accusations Arrogance incarnate
