ORATORS
The weavers of words are chosen from young,
selected and set aside for training of the tongue,
their paths are directed and carefully laid out,
invited into "clubs" and "societies" that have clout.
Called pillars of society they're groomed all the way,
given their speeches and what they may say,
they learn to act and express themselves well,
like dolls and puppets who aren't allowed to tell.
They lead the masses through the wishing wells,
spin and weave their words like magical spells,
bringing people hopes of better tomorrows,
by doing nothing to help them with their sorrows.
Beware to listen to the slippery tongue,
they lead us down many paths that are wrong,
the best paths to follow are the ones of the soul,
getting through life still being whole.
