The Leader of the Cult

You follow like lemmings, blindly 

Hang on every syllable and noun  

Like dictates from the gods 

Do not disagree as banishment awaits. 

For those that veer from the chosen path  

A lonely road lays ahead, 

 they use fear as a signpost  

To keep you on the straight  

Adulation and nothing less  

Will satisfy and feed the zealot. 

You must fly their flag. 

And wear their badge.  

Chant their name with pride. 

Take up arms.  

Kiss those you really love goodbye. 

Oh, what a fantastic c@@t you are.
