When the leaders say “I have the answer” Watch closely to see what If any, question was asked When the people focus on answers The Universities will offer degrees In solution development Behold the birth of cleverness When cleverness is highly valued Solutions will be plentiful Every politician will have Them by the dozens And the people will soon Cease to question To stop the asking of questions Is to become a nation of sheep Ending the need For genuine leadership Then the people will clamor and yell Our leaders corrupt They must be replaced! Tell me! When was the last time you heard of The sheep choosing the Shepard? To be solution focused is to Embrace cleverness and abandon wisdom To value comfort and conformity Over the contemplation of difficult questions These are the signs of a society in decline Such madness Copyright © 2004 William A.
