give them something to suck onto

if you
want obedience, if you want
to calm
the masses,
give them candy.
give them something
sweet to suck onto
for a while.
a pacifier.
a few bucks from the treasury.
a speech with
a rosy outlook.
drop the interest
rate,
send a check for a few
bucks.
tell them
there's more where that
came from,
and watch them smile.
