You have permission to fight ignorance with itself,

Because it overpays,

And some are broke either way.

So regardless of truth and what they’ll say,

Fighting fire with fire ignites the serpent’s desire—

It’s his playground,

Especially without GOD around.

While stacking ashes upon his sand mounds,

Evil on evil is fine, too—but they’ll cut the grass,

And call them all snakes,

Pull her dreads as if they’re all fake.

One has never seen a locked head before,

Antennas detecting what’s near to freeze, scorned.

…you can say that again.

And so, intelligence is poison,

It’s how ignorance can pose a win.

-Budd
