confronting the nonconfrontational
My meager attempts to find and share the truth
Are met with ignoring or ignorance
I can no longer tell your difference
Unable to see eye to eye perhaps
Because you can no longer see
You borrow words from platforms you could never build
Borrow morals from a party gone sour
But if the label is right you will trust it
No matter how many facts and experiences confront this
Blatant heresy you call
Truth and Liberty
You've denied even the blood of your own children
For your gods of status quo and security
Defending a system that serves only you as
Defending all who deserve it
So here's our opportunity
Here's the golden chance for all to speak
But you linger in the comments liking only those who agree
Again I assert that you clearly cannot see
I am not silent
But your silence screams louder still

I like the directness of this.
You borrow words from platforms you could never build
Borrow morals from a party gone sour
Sounds like the final words in a political argument on Facebook--with much better lines. *
Thank you, SDR. Directness is something I value, so I'm glad it's clear. Also you picked out two lines that I now see as pivotal - thank you for that!
Mathew, you found my inspiration, haha. I could probably post this on the worst offender's wall and they wouldn't have the brains? Vision? Common sense? To know it's directly about them.
Touches on so many levels. I like this, Emily.
You'd kill 'em on FaceBook Emily.*
Thank you, Kitty and Tim :)
