Fooling the People
by DCDave

The molders of our sentiment
The shapers of our thought,
These days are not the sort of people
That to be they ought.

Fearing we possess the wisdom
To ourselves decide,
They sound their groundless ostinato:
"Foster suicide."

Lest the public want its freedom
Trampled underfoot,
This is something up with which
It simply should not put.

David Martin
