Words from a Teacher's Past, 54



“Words, words, words.”
    Hamlet (2.2)

List #11: (c) populace, (d) treachery

The populace was wary—but
Succumbed to treachery.
They would not open up their eyes
To see what they should see.

They listened to the soothing words—
They loved a lullaby—
Refused to listen to their brains—
So freedom went buh-bye.
