****** are the obedient,
The complacent and the simple,
Content to follow in the shadows of giants,
Until they go out unnoticed like a candle already dimmed.

****** are the single minded,
With thoughts which are not their own,
Placing blind faith in their superiors,
Throwing ethics to the wind.

****** are the loyal lapdogs,
Their true feelings masked,
Striving only for a higher rank
They shake your hand with a dagger in the other.

****** are these slaves,
The mindless majority,
Something less than human,
These obstacles to progress.
