Your Cult

joined your cult

liked the food

the guy droned on

in that stupid costume 

 

but the dance segment

I could feel it too

who needs freedom

feeling that good

 

elation obvious 

words symbolic 

couldn’t take it serious 

that’s why we fell for it 

 

joined your cult 

after you left

felt emptiness

some regret

 

but I got promoted

and many recruits 

share the qualities 

I found in you
