Words, subliminal messages
intelligence, freedom, WMDs
Verbiage with malice
planted, dropped, and taught
caught by faithful friends,
patrons of rote beliefs
heeders of borrowed direction
practiced in acceptance without reflection
Lessons and logic forsaken
shaded ethics judiciously excused
news calculated for friends
intent on orthodox ritual
Duality becomes custom
bottom dwellers rise and
despite the repulsive stench
their friends let them ride.
Blinders replace inquiry
wiretap and torture skate through,
wounds soon will fester
unless friends demand truth
Who forfeits power and freedom
with such sublime abandon
and why
