Leader of the Pack

why bark for oneself
when gullibility rules,
the runt of the cur
rushes to aid one’s master
rogue awaits to shuffle pack.

Never underestimate the underdog. They like to think before they speak, rather than having to be heard first... You've given the reader much to think about with a few short lines. Great work, Harry!

Gullibility is a terrible thing. It makes huge fools out of the ones who can't figure things out for themselves. The runt of the cur. GOOD one, harry.
