Nope, don't drag me in
before I pledge alliance to any group cause
I wanna know why how and for what result
You can't just tell me your side
I would want to know the others' side too
I will go to an alleged offender
look right in their eyes and say
Listen, its being said you're so and so
or hey! they're are saying you did this and that
what have you got to say for yourself
Now, therein lays the difference
between Men and Boys
between Women and Girls
between Adulthood and Childish
between Maturity and Immaturity
and in most cases between Truth and Lies
and most importantly
between FEAR and HONESTY
and while most are governed by fear, fear, fear
Honesty knows no fear
If I make the wrong call I'll put up my hands and apologize
rather that than join the majority because I am afraid not to
I'd rather be unfiltered and hated, ostracised and pilloried
than live as a cowardly sheep full of hidden fears, secrets and
ravaged by insecurities and weak at core
hiding in Groupthink and Groupspeak
how demeaning and undignified is that
Yes, the're times when one has to be diplomatic
but it is positive diplomacy and that is not cowardice or fear
I am not perfect, nobobody is
but don't ask me to follow the herd or side a one sided narrative
That's the difference between you and I
or I and them
and I am not afraid to admit that
call me a ***** if you like
cause I call
a ***** a *****
