The Wisdom of the Crowd

Did you hear?
There’s a secret society that’s deciding your fate.
They watch your movements, they listen to your voice,
they judge your appearance, and they think your name
sounds nice.

Did you hear that they love democracy?
They believe that all people are equal;
that wisdom is sourced through consensus;
and that everyone deserves to be heard.
Except for you, of course,
because how else would they remain a secret?

Did you hear that they love philosophy?
They believe that words can change the world;
that their decrees can shape reality.
Specifically, your reality, of course,
because what else can they decide
once everyone else has had their say?

Did you hear that they love you?
They have studied you carefully,
and everyone has had enough debate.
Their votes have been counted with rigor,
and wisdom only comes from crowds, of course.
