The stubborn and the closing of minds

Why you gotta be like this?

Why you have to pretend that it doesn't exist?

Problems with terrorism,

Issues like climate change,

Difficulties with equality?

Do you honestly think,

That the world you trap yourself under,

Hiding in your shells, away from the thunder,

Will not break?

No.

One day it shall shatter,

And then when all your pieces are scattered,

You realised the ignorance in your stance.

They way you chose not to look at the balance.

The way you chose not to take up the challenge.

How short-sighted you were,

To not have looked up from that blank book,

And crawled out of that nook,

And only did it when the world shook,

To make comments on things you've never know,

Because you pretended you were never shown.

No.

You chose to turn the blind eye,

You chose to tune us out,

You decided that we are not right,

Because you lacked the foresight,

And pretend that everything is fine as you sleep at night.

Even as I speak now,

You will never listen. How?

How, can I make you listen?

Hear the calls of reality?

It is quite sad really,

That you would rather be known as silly.

Than to admit that you are stubborn,

Self-centered and dim,

Pretending to live your lives without knowing of sin.
