 Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god

TO BE CRITICIZED OR NOT TO BE CRITICIZED? THAT IS THE RHETORIC.



WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR
IF NOT TO BE CRITICIZED?
THAT WE SHOULD PUBLISH OUR WORK
AND EXPECT NO CRITICISM?
LIKE EVERYONE'S WRITINGS
ARE EVERYONE'S FAVORITES?
LIKE WHAT YOU SAY MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE?
IF I CANNOT BE HONEST WITH YOU,
AS YOU LIE TO ME,
THEN MAYBE THIS ISN'T A FREEDOM LAND ANYMORE.
MAYBE THIS WORLD HAS COLLAPSED
FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
THE EARTH IS ALREADY RUINED,
LET'S GO TO MARS AND DESTROY THAT TOO,
BECAUSE WE'RE HUMANS AND WE CAN,
WE SHOULDN'T BUT WE CAN.
AND WE WILL.
I CRITICIZE, BECAUSE I CAN
SOME SAY I SHOULDN'T BUT I CAN,
AND I WILL.
AND I HAVE.
SO CRY ME A RIVER,
BUILD ME A BRIDGE
AND GET OVER IT,
DAMN YOU.
