Stupidity

Stupidity, woe's anodyne, Be kind and comfort me in mine; Smooth out the furrows of my brow, Make me as carefree as a cow, Content to sleep and eat and drink And never think Stupidity, let me be blind To all the ills of humankind; Fill me with simple sentiment To walk the way my father went; School me to sweat with robot folk Beneath the yoke. Stupidity, keep in their place The moiling masses of my race, And bid the lowly multitude Be humble as a people should; Learn us with patient hearts, I pray, Lords to obey. Stupidity and Ignorance, Be you our buffers 'mid mischance; Endoctrine us to do your will, And other stupid people kill; Fool us with hope of Life to be, Great god to whom we bow the knee, --STUPIDITY.
