Dangerous lack of speculation

Said no fact checker ever, why would they

The scouts of humanity, the limb walkers of science

Visionaries, crazy as a loon, shooting the moon

Who needs them, dangerous speculation, who funds this deception

Pioneers of paths, unsettling accepted theory, the gall

Cancel these heretics of science, who needs them

We already have the path, the plan, the theories we need

Dissidents, how dare they, with their vision and curiosity

Can't be canceled, credentials long revoked, yet tenacious

Silence them then, this dangerous speculation, hide it

What drives them, maybe remove the motivation

Curiosity, that must be the problem, can we cancel that

Anyone with a lick of sense knows that walking on limbs is dangerous

Once we find the cure to this curiosity disorder we will be safe
