Analysis of The Ringleader
Speak in hushed whispers-
For they are watching you,
Your very own sorority sisters;
Keeping an eye on whatever it is you do.
Each immersed in their own life’s tragedies-
Laying the framework for a better tomorrow,
Not only for themselves but resolving collective maladies-
Looking out for you to save you from a life of sorrow.
The tough love cruel to be kind brigade-
Led by a merciful ascended goddess,
Get in line if you want a social upgrade
In front of your sistren there’s a specific way you dress.
Jibes are the minimum that you can expect in damages,
Peace of mind would soon become a thing of the past-
See how we warned you about the disadvantages,
Of rejecting our sophisticated system and turning into an outcast.
