Harmless and tender
Malleable as putty
Innocent victims
Molded to imperfection
Driven into a spitfire

A march towards doom
Rousing the vilest vengeance
Values forsaken
Furious contempt pouring
Froth of hate over the earth

Worshiped with fervor
Like a god too hard to please
In mind’s skeptic eye
Gingerly treading rough paths
Follower or fanatic?
