Lie! <br />Shake hands and smile in their faces. <br />Strip them of their natural resources. <br />Starve them to death! <br />Show them and the world how worthless they are! <br />Mock their existence! <br />Throw them sandwiches for photo ops. <br />Hand out bibles and teach them hymns! <br />And then select which ones are qualified... <br />To make brooms to sweep your floors! <br />Divide them into tribes to worship images of you! <br />Being popular is your motivating tool! <br />Eventually these actions, <br />Will make you the paying fool! <br />But who cares? <br />Since no one is aware of the things you do!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
