The Same People thought the Earth was flat
And the Crusades were just.
These same people thought the stars were gods
Turning cities to dust.
The same people believed the Earth was the center
Against which everything turned.
These same people held trials to justify
Witches tied and burned.
These same people pray to ghosts and spirits
Listen to voices in their head.
The same people imprisoned men of science
Until not only the truth was dead.
The Same People Are Wrong
Just as they were back then.
How can you keep being wrong
Again and again and again?
You are wrong about Global Warming
The true existential threat.
You are wrong about your part in racism
Or the petty things you fret.
You are wrong about the age of the universe
You are wrong about evolution no matter how true
These Same People believe they deserve what they have
Even when taking it from those that don’t look like they you.
You are wrong blaming fake media
Because it doesn’t agree with what you do
Wrong about immigrants searching for a peaceful land.
You are wrong about pollution and the things humans do.
If you can’t win simply change the rules
Repeating the same lies never makes them true.
Patriots love their country win or lose
The same people are wrong about sex, drugs, and Rock ‘N Roll too.
