so long had they hated authorities
experts
politicians

that they mistook hatred for power
bullying for strength
lying for honesty

so strong was their mistrust
that they trusted with all their hearts
a man who only believed in himself
and said he would unite them all

and the world watched in horror and fascination
- How could this happen?
But the answer was simple

Nothing is more soothing
for the untrusting mind
than finding a soulmate who distrusts all
who mocks all others
who oversimplifies everything

Nothing is more soothing
for the mind that mistrusts all authority
than finding an authority figure
that shares your mistrust so intensely
that you can believe him blindly
