Empires built upon the simple-minded The more deserving have nothing to show Those bankrupt in value assimilate the masses Leaving the unknown unable to grow. What keeps them high? Let someone else try... Some may push past the top or they may die on the vine Loudspeakers keep the loudest loudest but the quiet will stay last in line Many would give the better a chance if only they knew Others choose to stay safe, they are more deserving too. And so are you, and you..
