Follow blindly, follow blindly
For these are the rules
The diktats, instructions
As precious as jewels
Hear our sweet song
While we put you to sleep
With subliminal statutes
That you need to keep
Follow blindly, follow blindly
Stay in your place
Beneath all appointed
To run human race
Stop at the red light
Though no -one’s around
The cameras are watching
To run renegades to ground
Follow blindly, follow blindly
No dilemmas, least strife
Do as you’re told
And we’ll run your life
Ignore common sense
And the other five too
Just follow us blindly
What we say, you do
Follow blindly, follow blindly
It’s safer that way
Don’t question authority
Day after day
Follow on blindly
Keep blinkers in place
You’ll find life no challenge
When you keep to pace
Follow blindly, follow blindly
Now bow to your queen
Your betters, the wealthy
All titled, when seen
Follow us blindly
Our lies, your beliefs
You be the minions
While we are the chiefs
Follow blindly, follow blindly
Your freedom, our food
Do as you’re told
It’s for your own good
Kill that man there
For he is your foe
Our enemy, yours
Just so’s you know
Follow blindly, follow blindly
For we know the score
As long as we feed you
Don’t ask for more
Don’t be a rebel
A champion of cause
Ask us no reasons
The answer’s because
Follow blindly, follow blindly
Listen and learn
We are in charge here
You don’t get a turn
Hear our sweet song
And we’ll put you to sleep
Live in the shallows
Don’t delve down too deep
Follow blindly, follow blindly
Keep status quo
Be sycophantic
To those in the know
Those who control you
The world at our feet
Quietly, lambkin
Follow blindly as sheep
Follow blindly, follow blindly
For these are the rules
The diktats, instructions
For fascists and fools
Ah Anne-Marie, doesn’t that just sum up this world. But thankfully underneath all that are souls like yours, discovering your truth even though at times you give up in exasperation wondering why do you bother, and seeing the fear that drives them as you see your own.
Well written my friend, and very relevant to the generations of fearmongering leaders in their lust for power and the greed created from it 😀 ❤

Thanks, Mark. Exasperation about sums it up. Well, that and a host of other words I won’t mention! Keeping calm and carrying on, as they say.
