Observation is a difficult pill

when served to shake up old tendencies and beliefs

ideologies made stubborn by unquestioned years

fight frantically to subdue reason

resorting to emotional tirades

which veer great lengths from the truth

but strategically mix in enough

to incite dialogue imitating the act of thought
