May 2014
out front of the parade
the piper plays
his devoted followers
skip along
to the tune he plays
they skip to it
all the live long day
his notes make such an impression
on their minds
they are powerful
coercive
in their process
ever they skip
to his address

they are blind to the piper's
flawed tune
it's not of exemplary guidance
their position
is in perilous waters
their faith in him
so unwise
they see their leader
with tunnel vision
eyes

the dominance of his tune
plays in a brain washing tone
yet they follow along
as mindless stones
the piper
he's good at his craft
the naive all so daft
to the cliff's edge
he takes the lemmings
one by one
they drown at sea
listening to the tune's fallacy
a defective piper's instrument
hath lead his ardent admires
down a risky route
