Subservience

As a social animal we must have a leader

We only acknowledge as heads those we fear or love

It seems that our soul is a bleeder

No way to stop hemorrhaging, a need for approval from above

 

A commander can be a teacher or a parent

Authority can be a dictator or a god

Superiors can make sense or be logically errant

Idols can be dressed in a holy shroud or hobnail boots shod

 

We do whatever we are told to do

We follow our shepherd\'s voice like sheep

Those that stand up for what\'s right are few

Our morals have been a long time asleep

 

On tempestuous seas we sail

Without a lighthouse we are lost

We will drown if we fail

Like moths, we follow any light, no matter the cost
