Have you ever wanted to be right so badly,
that you would be wrong so fully,
which leads you to confuse your wrongs with rights
and feel justified in it all?

Have you ever started with a good intention
then yielded to a misguided aberration
only to discover you liked the deviation
and no longer desired to find your way back home?

Have you ever liked being in the majority so much
that, once finding yourself in the minority,
you would systematically attack - your words the weapons -
picking off the weakest first so you wouldn’t be alone?
