The Wheel of Good Men

When times are tough - survival fought Bread and circus come to naught Do we need hard work and thought? No. Just a good man Theory needs some evidence Faith ignores this - that's its strength Leaps of logic - any length Believe the good man Listen close to his solution Break the chains of destitution Rise together! Revolution! Follow the good man There is no grey - just black and white Choose whose side you want to fight We will set our world alight All for the good man With truth and lies and sword and gun The battle's fought - the war is won But the work is far from done Hail the good man We bring order - must be cruel Wheat from chaff - we need a tool Divide all men - judge by our rule Fear the good man Do not kill but love your brother Do not steal and do not covet Unless he says to do the other Obey the good man We must educate the young Burn the books except our one Hymns and anthems will be sung Raised by the good man Pick a group and call them names Pose no danger - often blamed Kill them now! They're all the same! Hate for the good man Times are tough - we suffer pain Do we work and use our brains? Or revolution turns again? There's always another good man Entry for "a good man" contest - re-entered for "your best rhyming poem 2" contest Written 29th October 2016
