Belonging To A Cult Poem by Randy McClave

Their leader is always right
They support them with all of their wealth and might,
Others are always wrong, is their favorite song
For their leader they will sacrifice all and fight.

Criticism or questioning their leader is considered persecution
They see it not as a solution,
Their leader they believe was sent by God, he's no fraud
They see their leader leading a holy revolution.

Anything the leader does is always justified
No matter how harmful it may be or if anyone has died,
Their leaders life is more important than theirs, that's their constant prayers
Their leader's life gives them ultimate joy and pride.

The leader is the only true source of facts and truth
Even more than their parents and the teachers of their youth,
Everyone else is gossiping and lying, and also denying
Especially when it's remembered in a voting booth.

Followers must always be blindly devoted
And their leader must never be question or out voted,
Whatever their leader ever does or say, for him they will pray
And on him they give praises as noted.

Followers are usually a naive and gullible adult
Who reminds the world as a member of an occult,
They worship their leader, as Jesus was worshipped by Peter
The followers won't recognize that they themselves belong to a cult.
