Same Weapons Used

What they have done...
Is given them ammunition,
To destroy themselves.
And others of like mind...
Who are equally ignorant,
Thoughtless and choose to be dumb.

This strategy has been in place,
Since it was discovered...
The ease of manipulation.
And how that creates self hate.
Done with deceit and undercover...
Without a trace.

Now those same weapons used,
Are turned against them.
Those outdated ways of 'winning'...
Has exposed evidence kept in denial.
And a foul odor left by a decadence...
Is slowly about to smolder,
And do them in!
