With A Demagogue Yell!



With A Demagogue Yell!

They trust the demagogue, their eyes filled with pedagogue
Feelings of helplessness and anger nourished by fear of the abyss
But trust is a word where the abyss is king
When emotions replace mind, to contradiction they’ll cling

The long road is back up the hill, in the distance
See the Shining City, no longer in their eyes the place of deliverance
Emptiness without hope makes promises without scope, reality
The demagogue yell rises and this nectar becomes religiosity

Fall from Individualism is suicide of the mind
Ultimately the demagogue forces the body to ensure his line
Betrayal by the freely elected and laziness of the bourgeois
Find the scapegoat to blame to feel comfortable and run freely

Then look around at the wreckage wrought by emotionalist thought
Didn’t mean to do that is too late and means naught
Constitution lies shattered as hundreds of years are scattered
Once again a civilization’s rejection of reason is fettered
