The Dangerous Poet

Padoke said, when I was a young pup, the most dangerous humanoid was the Poet.

Poets were known for assembling words in ways that could tear the very fabric of the culture to shreds.

The interesting thing is the words were not dangerous, it was the way they were connected with each other that caused the good citizens to fear them.

These language magicians could make people do almost anything they suggested with words.

Crazed word manglers, could use words rhythmically to conjure up all sorts of bad behavior, especially with young open minds.

Dos finally asked, what replaced Poets?

That is a good question, replied Padoke, I am not sure there has been a successor to the Poets.

Dollcee said, I sometimes wonder about you two. Audio visual social media, does that ring a bell. How can scrawling on a scrap of paper compete with the Yitch Yitch Yitch of social media.
