Worship my idols

Worship my idols
Bow before me
I am a ghost
But my words are engraved
Into the hearts of those
Who fear to know better

I feast on fear
I compel obedience
Thinking doesn't help you
Just follow me to a better life
My atrocities are yours too

Because the group survives
Much better than the loner
Humans travel in packs
And every pack must have
A leader

And twist my manifesto
For when I'm dead
You can sell statues of me
To foreigners from around the world
And you will still
Eat well on my fame
