Let’s rid the world of misery
An awful place, don’t you agree?
Now let me just enlighten thee
To change the way the world you see
The worthy are the “collective we”
Enforcing how things ought to be
We will not tolerate the [s]he
Whose point of view is contrary
Unworthy
A few little lies is all it takes
To be the victors of this debate
Together we shall congregate
A righteous mob to escalate
Setting all the people straight
Follow or we’ll obliterate
All who fail to cooperate
With our efforts to propagate
Hate
Prompted by MTB: Convince us with rhetorical devices. dVerse host Björn challenges us to write a poem/prose using rhetorical devices.
Oh… there is to much hate and it is so much easier to propagate than love and compassion

Rhetoric is very effective at playing people like puppets that jerk when the strings are pulled. Nicely done.
