Doubt is your friend!

The scariest ones are the ones who are right.

They ask no questions of their thoughts and actions alike.

They have a sense of almost divine purpose.

To decree and to banish.

Who dares question their mettle?

They are like a train that has lost its brakes.

One that must be stopped before it’s too late.

One that has left its driver behind,

To get his nagging suggestions out of its mind.

One that must be brought to a halt,

Lest it starts to rain fire and blood.

And if we say, “well, it’s headed for home”,

“What harm could be done?”

“It’s on its own.”

“It’s doing no wrong!”

Then it won’t be long,

'fore our very heads, start to roll.
