Replying to a comment on:

Cynical? (Free verse) by baughworm

The least will be the greatest. What a nice idea. Iron curtain. White picket fence. Both collapsed. Gandhi took a bullet for a theory. Billy Graham will rot in the ground with the rest of us. The greatest will be the greatest. The biggest will take your money. The shrewdest will con you into renting out your soul. Feed all the people, the people will burst. Starve them, tell them that they're full and they will thank you for the bread.

Yes, cynical. But the the last verse says a lot if you leave out "tell them that they're full." I don't see your point otherwise.
