Short attention span, or short interest span?
Every person has an internal meter of sorts
One that starts running as soon as something new pops up
And stops running
When that new becomes a few days old
Give us something to cheer for, or jeer at
Give us something to love or hate
That's the way of the world
That's how we humans operate
People have to wear
A logo
That proclaims the superiority of
A town, a school, a team
So much better
Than yours
People have to swear
Allegiance
To whatever they identify with
Usually the leaders of their governments
It will be a truly great day
When people learn to say no
When they can say NO! country or culture
Is worth dying for
And no charismatic lunatic is worth following
Unless it's to the gallows
