SCOLD

There's a tendency for "experts" to admonish and scold

Any view that queries the things we are told.

As if we are mere sheep being led to the fold

To be passively sheared, our brains bought and sold.

But I recall it was Voltaire, an intellect without equal,

Who was up to responding to such challenging tasks 

And dependably provides the time-honoured sequel -

Don't judge a man by his answers - but by the questions he asks.
