A clever man can manipulate a people,

By tarnishing the wise as fools,

But the real fools upon this day,

Are those that follow blindly - everything he says,

 

He’ll shout upon the rafters

The stupidity of compassion;–

Fashioning thoughts from those

In fear in poverty,

He’s keeping ignorant.

 

He’ll claim he knows a better way,

And how his politic is best,

He’ll state his educated ways

Knowing you’re brutalized of sense,

 

But what enables stupidity,

Is people’s ability to follow him,

And the reason people follow him;

The fear of looking stupid,

When thinking for themselves!
