It's Not Me; It's You
It's Not Me, It's You
(Nothing Personal, I'm sure)

I am an ist of what I do not know
There is an ism out there for me
Getting a fill full of its ideology,
someone else's philosophy --
and told to believe -- but have had
other ideas.

If I am not one of you, I am against you;
or so my senses tell me believe,
as a survivor within the division --
separatism that segregates
my burgeoning philosophy
from your unknowable ideology: hypocrisy?

Who is false and who is true
is something knowable from my vantage.
Who's going to walk over here, stand
nose to nose, order me around? No one.
But now that you've distracted me,
dissecting your cunning will be fun.

Cunning? Conning??
