Painting Against The Wind
Painting Against The Wind
Arguing with the ignorant and bigoted is Painting against the wind.
How can you speak truth to the hard hearted and irrational mind?
The prejudice of the racist never ponders
Humanity is one race
Segregation and separation pervert their soul from any co-existence.
Facts, truth and evidence are poisons to the Contrarian bent on stupidity
The level of the mindless lies in the mud
Where clarity has no chance.
Avoid and abandon the friendless fiend
Who follows the fool’s flag
Their fate leads over a cliff to oblivion
Where love and wisdom die unwritten.
