You're so cynical. Not moved by those crocodile tears, You frown and scoff dismissively, As if you've not cried in years. We stigmatized the nation, Because you couldn't understand, That sometimes people just want affection, Need someone to hold their hand. So you're drowning in the grave you dug, As it fills with water and bile Of those you thought to be smug, Cutting them with words vile. You didn't get the memo. Not everyone is mean, But of course you cannot hear that, As you deafen us with your screams.

Ignorance.
You're so cynical. Not moved by those crocodile tears, You frown and scoff dismissively, As if you've not cried in years. We stigmatized the nation, Because you couldn't understand, That sometimes people just want affection, Need someone to hold their hand. So you're drowning in the grave you dug, As it fills with water and bile Of those you thought to be smug, Cutting them with words vile. You didn't get the memo. Not everyone is mean, But of course you cannot hear that, As you deafen us with your screams.
