Minions Exist
They burn people at the stake
without a sigh of care. They
were common during
the witch hunt and inquisition. Holier
than thous passed the
execution laws.
They believe a critic,
if he says a book is bad
for the readers' appetite. They
don't care to open a page
or two, to see for themselves.
They followed the Swastika,
without knowing
why Hitler hated the Jews.
They are common
in teens' gangs - sometimes
they spray paint
on a Principal's car,
if the gang leader says so...
They are you and me,
sometimes following the wrong leader....
