Bratty Zealots

Show me the creature
of absolute certainty
with rock hard steadfastness
buoyed by unwavering conviction
and swaggering confidence
mixed with a sense of arrogance
that doubt can never penetrate
and you will have found in your midst
a stubborn close minded zealot...

Show me the creature
from the Know It All tribe
who belittles and condescends
those who dare share contrary opinions
that challenge their core structure
and shake the very foundation
that supports past entitlement
and you will have found in your midst
your typical rigid ideologue...

Do not engage these foolish creatures in debate...

Best to let them pound their chests and bloviate...

Sure they can be incredibly annoying little girls and boys
but in the end they are just irritating background noise
who will fade into obscurity and bitter irrelevance
once the adults send them off to bed
