Wait.

Wait.

Wait

Don’t let them think that you’re the same

Keep your tongue between your lips except to speak hate

God forbid you learn to relate

Point and shout.

Don’t bother worrying about

How difficult the circumstance, no, just run your mouth

Convince yourself you don’t have doubts

Don’t strain your hands and don’t dull your claws

They belong in your ears except to point out their flaws

Even if there’s no words don’t stop moving your jaws

Both tongues outstretched.

Neither should attempt

To open your minds, afraid of what you’ll find

Eyes sewn shut.

Choking on the thought

That you could be part of the problem

One calls for change but is happy to stay the same

One calls for justice refusing to shoulder blame

Rehashing every wrong they can recall

But they’re both just throwing stones and putting up glass walls

Say you want truth.

Won’t make the first move

Both wasting time.

Obsessed with weakness to find

Want them to hear?

Unplug your own ears

Wait for the other to doubt, and you’ll die with your tongue out
