I'm Somebody! You're a Fool.
I'm Somebody! You're a fool.
Why follow the golden rule?
Pharma companies pay me well,
For the soul I'm willing to sell.
How dreary to be Nobody,
Sleeping peaceful like a dog,
Living life with conscience free
Ignoring every demogogue.

This poem also appears on my website, The Asylum. The website also has several things that are not possible to do on Substack: The World Economic Forum Members Reference (thanks to Dr. Malone), Red State/Blue State reference showing Senate and House percentages by party affiliation, quotes, a large resources section, a robust search feature and some other things unique to the site: quizzes, word games and leaked communications. These latter three are satirical and funny, at least in my mind, but you'll have to be the ultimate judge on that.
