On Dignity (Interlude)

As the sky turned blood red and all the screams could be heard
The lone dove stood silent as the chaos ran riot in front of him
He watched the panic
The overreaction
The following like sheep
Disappointed that they still wouldn't think for themselves
He could see it all
"Truth be told," he thought to himself, "no one is smart at all, really."
He could see through those who thought they were intelligent
The ones who thought they were doing the right thing
And claimed to do their research
And say it backed up how they thought
"The fools," he would say, "who are just recycling someone else's opinion."
He could see through the people who tried to claim they were having their freedoms taken from them
They didn't know a thing about hardship
They just wanted to be able to continue offending those they thought were below them
Then there were those who claimed they wanted to see everyone in love
But not deem everyone as worthy of their love
Then the dove turned to me
"You," he told me, "need to learn not to attract these type of individuals
They just want to change you and mold you into their own image
You need to keep your dignity so walk away and let them get on with it
They can't do anything to you afterwards
Stand up for you
Live for you
Learn fast, because they won't until it's too late for them
Because when you die no one else is coming with you."
