I have come to expect
The re-echo of this
Hate and spite-full contempt
Born of selfish regret
In an ideal that failed
In a virtue misplaced
A reaction that serves
Only to further impair
An internal contention
Where has this lead you?
Over-valued currency
Valued over basic humanity
Why can’t you see
Blatant hypocrisy
In what you’ve done and said and totally believe
You can’t explain away complacency
With a narrow view of the world around you
I have looked up
To thе man that I knew
A collection of skills
Ethics, heart and valuе
The man that taught me to see
Between the story sold
And the complex realities
That unfold
So why can’t I resolve
This confusing dissension
Of a respected wisdom
And the adoption of a tapered view
Why can’t you see
Blatant hypocrisy
In what you’ve done and said and totally believe
Its not that I’m an authority on
Resolving the disparity between ideals and ideology
But I know what I see
And as it seems to me
A great epiphany
May never be
This great epiphany
May never come to be
The great epiphany may never come to be
An internal contention
A confusing dissension
The adoption of a tapered view
Such a narrow view of the world around you!
I have come to expect
The reecho of this
Hate and spite-full contempt
Born of selfish regret
In an ideal that failed
In a virtue misplaced
A reaction that serves
Only to further impair
An internal contention
Where has this lead you?
Over-valued currency
Valued over basic humanity?
