Any part

you chose
political corruption
and arrogance
to use as your voice
as in the dark ages of old
You chose
the mechanisms
of destruction
for the minds of our Young

You still refuse
to grasp the concept
We are one

The balance
shall return
and you people will learn

poison the land

A powerful warning to those who allow others to rule without question. It occurs to me a I read this that before we can go back to the garden, we will have to build it.
We are obedient slaves as you point out because we are too lazy to do what we allow others to do for us.
Leaders can/'/t lead without followers.
