Cult of Ignorance

Mute rage numb grief
There's only silence when we
Speak out Our words
All turn to steam under the
Heat from history books left burning
By a movement with a fear of learning
That the future isn't ours to hoard

So many sworn in
Turned in their heart and shave their heads
Pledge allegiance to the cult of ignorance

Disdain deride
They see red when they see
Anything that doesn't fit the narrative
Of self Interest
This barricade they built to
Use their warped pride as a prison
Anti-intellectualism
Steals power from our every word

So many sworn in
Another neighbour another friend
Another buy into the cult of ignorance

This pyramid scheme
Trickle down simplicity
Paints the perfect misdirection
To the disenfranchised weak
You can paint a target on
The back of anyone in need
And let the hungry hounds
Weigh their hearts against their greed

Mute rage
Numb grief
Mute rage
Numb grief
There's only silence when we Scream

So many sworn in
Turned in their hearts and shave their heads
Pledged allegiance to the cult of ignorance
