All Hail the Thought Police

My views are trenchant and modest.
My thoughts as clear as day.
I marvel at the things I know
While ignoring much what others say.
You must now follow my direction
And blindly accept all I have in store
Where your most cherished held beliefs
Will not bother you no more.

You will be free to act as I command
As I make bold your privilege and your past.
And with my loving care and maintenance
You may yet survive what's come to pass.
So stand and meekly beg for mercy
But ignorance proves your heinous acts...
Knowing any attempt to defend yourself
Is a clear prostration of the facts.

When I come to take your neighbor...
Be not concerned if one or two.
But rest assured... the time will come
When I gleefully come for you.
Please skulk in worry and trepidation 
As who knows what the next day brings?
Since those who would deny me power
Are thankfully consumed by other things.

You will therefor crumble before my zeal
And it matters not that some will die.
As I lay a pox upon the great unwashed
Who dare not to think as I.
Be not tasked with want and worry
At the evil I have wrought.
Just know my world will be a better place
Once I control your thoughts.

                   The End

….. (silence) no word can I express the power of this. Anything I write will not do it justice. Well done. Awesome work!

I happened to peek back here and my comment is gone. Nothing unusual...sorry., David. The thought police work overtime now. Hope they paid for quashing beauty, himor, etc. and God! It's not humorous, the damage they do to all. I define them as sick people... Pangie xxxx
