Rude Awakening In Your Minefield

To those who speak against being 'rude': you are not a friend of truth or understanding.

You coddle yourself in a somnambulant daze,

Where the harshest realities lay deep in your soul,

And you walk away, as far from this dormant minefield you've lain,

Leaving the active bombs for others to stumble upon.

And they suffer because of your laziness,

Avoiding your task of diffusing these bombs that only you understand,

And you still aren't sure where the schematics are,

So the damage continues,

And you have become a despot,

Watching people die from your pointless violence.
