Sayonara Discourse

We aren't defined by our ideologies
Sexual proclivities, or ethnicities
We aren't defined by our nationalities, gender identities
We must rethink our current critiques
Because we're more than what lies on the surface

Strangers are not our enemies
Sometimes the hunger for power feels stronger
Than the desire to coexist together
Opposing perspectives provoke altercation
We clamor in anger through confrontation
Our destination's dehumanization
Animalistic behavior without realization
We have forgotten how to see ourselves
In each others eyes

Cognitive dissonance holds us hostage
Examine the ignorance that we marinate in
We judge each other from our worst examples
While rating ourselves by our best intentions
Tribal sovereignty narrows our empathy
A double standard that's double dealing
History will repeat itself
Until we redefine ourselves

Redefine ourselves
Redefine ourselves
Redefine!
