Song of Ignorance

To speak is easy,
for fools do such
    with nary a thought ~

    their opinions
    make up many a social commentary...

A simple word
causes mass hysteria,
celebrating to the song of ignorance.

    Popular opinion
        often times out-ways reason --

    ...but that doesn't make it correct.

Maestros use celebrity
to amplify their orchestrations,
    knowing fans will follow blindly ~

    dancing wherever the piper plays.

Outside the limelight,
wisdom waits ~

for it knows soon the proud will fall

    ...and it will offer a hand up
        to those humble enough to accept it.
