Blah, blah, blah

Does obstructive pride

prevent meaningful change,

whitewash opinion? If you choose to brush aside

my theorems that is not strange

given our views no longer remain the same.

Before, ensnared in linguistic bindweed

I missed opportunities to clear my name,

chose false logic to proceed

as I always had with you.

But now there is surely merit in my argument,

pushing back against your new

and unwholesome reality. Ha! You still think I spent

my time living by a philosophy grown old

and never listening to what I was being told.
