I wish we could agree.
Our difference of opinion
enflames the things unsaid.
So we skirt around the issue

And why am I the radical?

Brainwashed opinion
Open mindedness thrown out
Worn out paradigm

Who has the skill now?
Past mastery forgotten
A just renaissance

Converging timelines
No room for maneuvering
Choose which team you’re in
