Everything’s a battle for public opinion
And your turn to push a viewpoint
Claim the position of authority
Deliver the killing blow to cement it
Arguments are primed and spat
With the precision of a shotgun
Because it’s better as a sound-bite
Over honest, civil interaction
We’re just talking past each other
We’re all judging by assumption
Accusations of ignorance
Are pouring from our lips
While we’re openly exhibiting
That very trait we rail against
In an attempt to bring your righteous viewpoint
You sunk to the level of those you hate
We lose sight
Of our neighbours
All we see
Are assumed agendas
They’re the enemy
Or so we’re told
But to that end
No-one can win
