Thoughtcrime
Who
are you in that strange building...
high above us in that capital city?
Tending our small lives...
imposing your laws on we
of greater character than your own.
Are you leaders?
Shall we think ourselves lost without you?
Tell
me the truth just once....
is it we who needs to be led
or you who needs to lead?
Who truly serves the others needs
in this strange relationship?
Maybe
you merely wish to lead us
into thinking we need you.
Maybe you’re like parasites...
using the faults of the masses
to create need for yourself.
What
is your true purpose?
Would you end our faults
so
as to improve our sorry lot?
Or
would you maintain them.....
to justify your sorry existence?
