ugly so that no one would notice you hiding in it

You began to brood over humanity and make meals of our hope

You, who crept into our lives with tongues like knives stabbing your words into our skin.

You turned your hate into stones and hurled them at beauty as if you couldn't bear to see anything other than ugly, anything different.

You had fingernails like flint and scraped them along decency hoping WE would be the ones to all catch fire.

You all had smiles like one-way barbed wire not meant to keep us out, meant to keep us IN.

Released like a firing pin, you spoke in explosions.

...turning freedom of speech into freedom of cruelty

We are stuck with you, the same way YOU are stuck with YOU.
Your mind is a glue and it keeps malice fashioned there like cheap wallpaper.


Powerful words. Apt description of many of the Tea Baggers.

It's why I have a large ignore list, one bit of trollish or bullying behavior, you're gone.

The lyrics are a bit "on the nose" (troll pun, hehe) for me. But... it's got a... cool story.



Trolls can be useful when dealing with assholes on the Internet, which is their opposite number.

Studies have shown that most trolls are disaffected, lonely, impoverished white males, the same people that join the military or white supremacist groups like the Republican party (depending on how closeted they are.) whereas assholes on the Internet are the people who actually sit in those offices and immaculate homes, consigning people to homelessness and poverty, watching sports while cameras go up on the street not just placing a wire fence around your computer but around your convenience store -- all for the benefit of those who feel protected. Pretending to be liberals while they support pocketbook conservative policies (what, you thought they infiltrated boards like this to troll you?) Which is why no change will come to the current police scandal, because secular capitalist society exists to protect those who already feel protected.

this clip could be played at every cinema before a film like previews. It would be so much more meaningful.

I had no awareness of this brilliant young man until your post. I am putting it on my facebook page, and plan to view everything of his I can find.

What an amazing human being!
