you see
the problem is
you don’t
really
understand anything you
say

you preach
you lecture
you bash into the heads
of the innocent
and the uninformed
but at the end of the day
you lay at night
wondering
what any of it
means

that’s why you can’t get me

I disagree with you, yes,
but I understand what I
know and what I know I
can prove to be true

at least to me
and that’s all that
matters

but for you
the problem is that
you never thought
this stuff
up

you were told
and you nodded
in agreement
without the slightest
idea of what the hell
was going on

but you nodded,
you memorized,
you recited,
you repeated,
and now you come to my door
so sure that you are
right
that you’ve never even
stopped to wonder
why
