Analysis of The Screwdriver
Follow the screwdriver;
It’s the only thing they have known.
Loose screws know heartache;
So they are always alone.
They depend on the screwdriver;
To put them in their place.
No one messes with the screwdriver;
For it remains in its safest place.

About this poem
My thoughts had been on the question of why a society will always rely on one leader to follow regardless of whether that leader is corrupt or not? I took that thought and made a humorous poem about a common tool and the objects that rely on it.
