Isms are schisms, that’s just what they are
They look at what’s near to get to what’s far
Of Capital, Commune, Social, or Nihil
They all help to guide us toward ideas on trial
Isms are schisms, they condense and divide
Bonds get tight and chasms get wide
By thinking together, we develop our culture
Whatever we make, we devour like vultures
Isms are schisms, they put us into classes
They keep us in boxes and make us all act like *****
Whatever your ism, you’ve got to go deeper
Beyond all of our differences and all our agreements
Isms are schisms, ideas are ideals
Words are just symbols and emotions are feels
They are all just tools to help us become who we are
We can use them to create and we can use them to spar
If you use an ism to carve out your ego
It could be a help, a hindrance, or even placebo
The question’s not really which ism is right
and will prove to the world who has the most might
Beyond all our isms and the ways they divide us
The question’s who you are and how you’ll inspire us
