An idea is a fearful thing that changes where it treads
A virulence of postulates with wake of twisted heads It challenges what some would hold defining who they are Attacking at their personhood to leave a lasting scar Even when attacked an idea charges to the fore Airing to the masses standing open to explore A platform to be heard upon, a sound made hard to drown The ears it bends hard to amend, a beast one can’t put down The fear of hearing brands ideas as dangerous at best Petrified to listen at another thought’s behest Silencing the easy fix to never hear it out A hairbrained trigger firing at the spectre forming doubt Blocking all from seeing, hearing, thinking of such thought Creating correct process for the thinking that one ought It can seem quite effective when one cannot hear it heard Murdering the messengers that spread the idea’s word Martyrdom is powerful, can help an idea sell Spreading in self-righteousness, difficult to quell The idea builds a hero-arc that many wish to board A sense of unfair treatment wielding justice the reward Ideas are solely challenged by another of its like The blows that can make impact only other ideas strike Open up its flaws to see as wounds under the light In marketplaces, battlefields where ideas learn to fight
