Persuasion
A gal who uses her come hither look
Can persuade a guy to come hither
She might not be playing straight from the book
But with it, most guys she can whither
Wise use of persuasion is truly an art
Can be used to further one's knowledge
A college professor persuades to impart
His wisdom he teaches in college
But this art of persuasion can also be used
In ways that are deemed most unkind
Persuading to evil does so abuse
And can alter the state of one's mind
With the art of persuasion, he tempted our fate
Adolph Hitler, a brute so amoral
A political beast, the Devil incarnate
A title for which there's no quarrel
Corruption was sold by this persuading fanatic
His product should have never been bought
Hitler's art of persuasion was just too dramatic
His sale was with danger most fraught
So you see, persuasion can be good or bad
A warning to be taken not lightly
Is the persuader a good guy or cad?
Is he persuading you wrong-ly or right-ly?
