letra de factions speak louder than herds - beyond grace

i can’t help but see in our public discourse so many of the same destructive impulses that ruled my former church
we celebrate tolerance and diversity more than at any other time in memory
and still we grow more and more divided
we want good things
but the path we’ve chosen looks so much like the one i walked away from four years ago
we’ve broken the world into us and them
only emerging from our bunkers long еnough to lob rhetorical grenades at thе other camp
we write off half the country as out-of-touch liberal elites
or racist misogynist bullies
no nuance, no complexity, no humanity

the weight of your words
is so much greater than you truly know
they leave no mark but they take a heavy toll
wearing us down with their constant attrition
no one learns, no one listens

no one is willing to even try
or even to pretend to see the other side
they simply bow before
the justice of the baying mob
howling out for satisfaction
for the slightest of transgressions

so let this be a lesson
better the abuser than the one abused
better the accuser than to be the one accused

who are you to call us the enemy?
blind to your own naked hypocrisy

factions speak louder than herds
drowning out the voice of reason
and the weight of every word
builds another wall between us

pass your jealous judgements
cast your petty stones
swift to discover the sins of another
but so slow to realise your own

better the deceiver than the one deceived
better with us than against us
better wolves than sheep

what gives you the right to such cruelty?
so much envy, so little empathy

factions speak louder than herds
drowning out the voice of reason
and the weight of every thoughtless word
builds another wall between us

- beyond grace
