Hubris Waits in This Illusion

so self-assured you know
what everyone must do
so easy to dictate other’s actions
when you have nothing to lose
so simple to be idealistically clean
when living within an abstraction
so trapped in your tacit vision
that all must see for redemption
so sure your way is the way
for everyone to blindly crave
so oblivious to your echoes
of those you claim to fight
