THE CRITICS

They will look on what occurs, those men,
Who do not the decisions make,
Pointing out to almost everyone,
Each dastardly mistake.
They will be disturbed by their emotions
That will mist their thinking eye,
Or by political devotions,
Or by biases they deny.
For the Devil is the tempter,
Who seeks to lead the truth away,
In the books they write for money,
Poaching from people's sad dismay .
Then they slink back to the shadows,
Where they don't have much to say.
