Stupidity

 Stupidity, woe's anodyne,
Be kind and comfort me in mine;
Smooth out the furrows of my brow,
Make me as carefree as a cow,
Content to sleep and eat and drink
 And never think

Stupidity, let me be blind
To all the ills of humankind;
Fill me with simple sentiment
To walk the way my father went;
School me to sweat with robot folk
 Beneath the yoke.
Stupidity, keep in their place The moiling masses of my race, And bid the lowly multitude Be humble as a people should; Learn us with patient hearts, I pray, Lords to obey.
Stupidity and Ignorance, Be you our buffers 'mid mischance; Endoctrine us to do your will, And other stupid people kill; Fool us with hope of Life to be, Great god to whom we bow the knee, --STUPIDITY.
