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....
