The Speaker

Follow your dreams, the teacher smiled to a class full of murder sadists.
Trust your gut, he knowingly told a calvalcade of knife brained opportunists.
You can be anything, he imparted to the legless, armless, depressed idiot, drooling and dreaming.
Follow your nose, he slobered to the cannibal, the stew making scum bag, the soup nazi.
Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you, he said to the masochist, fondly, touchingly.
Appreciate what you have, he said to the traumatized trembler, without irony.
Love your neighbour, he slyly whispered to the fornicator, the debaser, the coveter.
He winked but never opened the closed eye.
Lead with your right, he yelled at the child, reassuringly.
Believe in yourself, he belched toward the masses.
Never give up, he condecendingly told the dead.
