"Don't you want closure to all the torture you've been put through?"
Asked the son his elder father in disgust
"No good can come of muffled voices,
And threats we make under our breath.
To make a stand you must unleash your wrath"
The man replied,
"Your zeal will set all that you love alight.
Hear me, child, it's not your fight.
You seek revenge, not justice"
The man's son shot right back in anger,
"You're showing weakness in restraint!"
The old man rose to voice his reprimand,
"Understand, you can't mend all this strain
With the means at your command.
You're too brash to wait and plan ahead,
To learn where you stand and what you are up against.
You will lose all you've gained in the end."

What kind of voices help inform your choices?
Don't the tastemakers leave a bitter taste in your mouth?
And have you ever noticed that some household staple,
Brand name products are as generic as they come?
You're failing to see the broad picture time after time
Doubting the unfamiliar
Look another way, and it's back to the tried and the true
Quantity over quality
"Hey! Stay focused,
Keep your eyes on the proverbial road"
Is a well worn out mantra,
But peripheral vision
Holds the key to a bigger reward
What kind of voices help inform your choices?
Don't the tastemakers leave a bitter taste in your mouth?
And have you noticed that some household staple,
Brand name products are as generic as they come?

Weakling,
Your mighty shoulders crumble under the emotional weight
You keep snarling at the moon
Get bit, then lick your wounds
You're at your loudest when you're afraid
Intimidation has its price
You strike fear in people's eyes with your physique
The shell is at its peak, but the core is sick
Intimidation magnifies
All that you can't bring yourself to verbalize
You're a slave to the impulse
You're exhausted but you can't get enough
Ever the mindless muscle for an insecure, tireless mouth
