Poem
With the sanctity of ignorance Flocks follow the wolf With truth caged The masses flow With allegiance to whims People praise their foes One day it will be remembered As a turning point Brought about by spin A footnote of incredulity A masked attack on democracy A faithful adherence to overkill Democracy has its foibles Its idiosyncrasies It can mount the stage and then flee Taking not just liberty But fraternity All the while gaining infamy Despite doing nought for you or me We praise nostalgia We want only change that is none We need the like button of eternity To wrap us in plastic vanity We prostrate to love That is naked insularity Yet we make friends That follow meekly Shout that the champion has arrived Bellow that the steed of hope has entered with joy Announce that kindness is free to loot our misery And Make us understand conformity Say nil that will smother our illicit fantasy Rage What use is it now we have happy clown to praise Bawl A bit late when we bit the hand that took all away Fret Only if you wondered aloud when u saw the flames Pray If your countenance is a member of the debating crew It is given a name This mess that now has come home to roost This tangle that untangles like glue This trap that took what we brazenly knew While we sailed the ark two by two What side you cling to matters not What hopes for dominance you may have Withers as the drought of uncertainty fills the land What crises you feel will come May reveal a future that always made you glum Speak for whom the bell tolls The winner you know you will always scold
