The Power of Repetition

My mind is poisoned by the words
Of foolish people I don't like;
I know their schemes of thought too well,
Even those that really smell.

The power of repetition works,
Even when the content sucks;
It's wise to turn your face away,
Don't give the fools the time of day.

I've read the words of those I hate,
Whose ugly notions really grate;
I thought I read them to confront,
Like moth to candle flame I went.

The academic's daft ideal
Of knowing both sides of the question
Did my peace of mind quite steal
And left me without inner bastion.
