And then, who was the first who hid
The id in ideology?
Long forgotten, but to this day
Imitated relentlessly.

And was it even a person,
Or ideology itself,
With a side-eye to the main chance,
Understanding success is selfish.

No one adopts a creed doesn’t
Promise some fat satisfaction—
If not a better chance to breed,
Community’s fast attractions.

Ideology invented,
By intention or selection,
Physical reasons to believe,
To feed the id a good creed needs.
