Any Questions?

 

I give a lecture

Like their father

About their freedom

To decide for themselves

Without being told

What to do

By

Mindless minions

And systemic sycophants

 

I look into their wide disbelieving eyes

Loyal comrades one and all

The sense of solidarity

Enters through the eyes and ears

Passes through the brain

And carries down the spine

 

Any questions today?

No, then that will be all
