The Truth Is

But the arrogant
  like to think they’re
  so noble that
people should
  get their weapons and
take revenge
  only on the basis
  of their word for it.
Yet, are they so righteous
  that they cannot lie?
Are they so noble
  that they are always right?
That’s what they
  would like us to think
  of them.
But what should you expect?
Since they love to brag
  for all the reward and honor
  they can get,
of course they want you
  to accept
nothing but their
  word for it.

But if you do not accept
  what they say,
they get angry
  and begin to hate.
For the way they show
  that they’re sincere
is to show how zealously
  they can swear.

So the only reason
  others accept
nothing but their
  word for it
is not because
  they understand
  that it’s correct
but simply because
  they are afraid of them.

Such people will submit
  to anything that
  the arrogant say
because they fear
  the whip, the sword, and
  the grave.
So the only thing they prove
  as they obey
is that they are
  miserable cowards
  who are afraid.
They are too frightened
  to say anything against
pride, arrogance, and
  prejudice.
So they conform to whatever
  bigotry and prejudice
  that is prevalent.
And because they refuse
  to set their will against
  prejudice,
they perpetuate it instead.
So bigotry and hatred
  continues to spread
because they are all so
  terribly afraid of death.
