Useful Idiots
Contributed by Nan Potts
A scheme designed for social control,
Creating the Social State, it’s goal.
Taking the extant of people’s lives,
Eight levels obtain its dear prize.
To care for the care of people’s health,
Controls the people and their wealth.
Hiking taxes thrusts poverty high,
Curbs the poor, on the State rely.
Unsupported debt surges the tax,
Poverty rises, not relax.
Rid self-defense by forced gun control,
A Police State now, won’t let go.
Engage in people’s welfare, all,
Home, food and income then will stall.
Control what people read and listen,
Checks children’s learning, none’ll glisten.
Humans thrive, belief in God as head,
Ride in State and halls, all are dead.
Divide the people, Haves and Have-nots,
Tax the rich and the poor’s hope rots.
Alinsky* simplified Lenin’s scheme,
Communism’s ruling regime.
Stalin’s converts produced useful fools,
“Useful Idiots”, his slaying tools.
Aiding in their countrymen’s demise,
Millions dead, governance his guise.
They are here today seizing power, control,
Razing nations ‘round their patrol.
“It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.” - Voltaire
