Controversy



With a following their self proclaimed leader.
Like a game to play 'Simon Says'.
Done with minds abandoned.
And thoughtlessly  tossed away.
All began,
Like their leader to seek controversy.
To endorse and support a loyalty devoted.
Regardless if this should end,
For most of them being imprisoned.
Emulating to imitate to perfection,
A craze...
No one conscious and stable mentally,
Could observe and deny...
This activity seen to witness,
Is a temporary event.
Implemented and intended,
To spread this mental illness done to do it...
Meant to cement.
With a permanence to pledge allegiance.
As a mindset is left to sicken,
And duped into an addicting stupor...
Craving more of this madness fed.
