The Masses

Damned 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.

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

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

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