Opinions formed on popular belief, Uninformed campaigns, Self-destructive protests, An anger born from hatred that won't fade, Right intentions fall prey to tricksters, Success assumed too soon, Life boiled down to laws that need to change, But people are set in firmer stone, And even when their petty arguments and outrage Is chipped away, they cling on to their rock, Judgement, greed, distorted views, Cling like limpets to a ship's hull, And shallow words barely nudge at their shells, Our minds are set too soon, Stubbornness fills us like concrete, Holding back generations.
