Analysis of The Cradle of the Demagogue

Tell them what they want to hear
 Every politician knows
 That the Zephyr changes
 Where the mob rule goes

Some say he is an honorable man
 Lend him then your ear
 A ship is dangerous
 Without a man to steer-

It towards its destination
 Where the future calls
 He will led you to the stars
 Where they're prone to fall

But his words are beautiful
 “Lest you dash your foot against”
 He is a man of means
 Who shows no moral offense-

To those who blind themselves
 Within his tactile phrase
 And tempt posterity
 That will not be allayed

By those ignorant fools
 Who believe in anyone
 Who shod themselves in the holiness
 Of the evil ones.
