Factions Speak Louder Than Herds

The weight of your words Is so much greater than you truly know They leave no mark but still they take a heavy toll Wearing us down with their constant attrition No one learns, no one listens No one is willing To even try Or even to pretend to see the other side They simply bow before The justice of, the baying mob Howling out for satisfaction For the slightest of transgressions So let this be a lesson Better the abuser, than the one abused Better the accuser than to be the one accused Who are you to call us the enemy? Blind to your own naked hypocrisy Factions speak louder than herds Drowning out the voice of reason And the weight of every word Builds another wall between us Pass your jealous judgements / cast your petty stones Swift to discover the sins of another / but so slow to realise your own Better the deceiver, than the one deceived Better with us than against us, better wolves than sheep What gives you the right to such cruelty? So much envy, so little empathy Factions speak louder than herds Drowning out the voice of reason And the weight of every thoughtless word Builds another wall between us
