Taming the Beast

Control all print and rule all waves
Feed The Beast all that it craves

Contort, distort and obfuscate
Preach of hate and fear and fate

The Beast sees not what is not shown
All unseen do stay unknown

Note: Written sometime after 2005.
"The Beast" is an essay by Jacob Wassermann about the rise of anti-semitism in post I World War Germany. Beast referred to the masses and their propensity towards blind violence and loss of individual values in a group when goaded with ideas such as 'patriotism', 'racism' etc.
