Dominant discourse
world determined
by those who could.

Others, be silent
For WE KNOW
what's best.

Who told you how it hurts
to be left out,
discarded when not needed?

Science, science told us
how everything should be
according to the word.

Whose word was that?
Yours or ours?

And what if you're wrong?

We're never wrong.

Never wrong?
Or never listen to the harm you cause?
Never hear the Other?

We're never wrong.

Whose wrong?
Yours or ours?
Why have you so much more than we?

We're never wrong,
and we're strong.
You're not supposed to say this.

No? Why not?
We're dominant discourse, you know.
Dominant - that's most of us.

But you don't know
like we do.
You're not strong like us.

We're never wrong.

Too late for that.
You were wrong to silence us.
To commodify our thoughts and needs.

We're never wrong.

Let the markets decide
as we transform the dominant discourse
you sought to control.

 

we're never wrong . . .

we're never wrong . . .

we're never wrong . . .
