Deception
They appeared before the people as
Saviors
With promises to accomplish many
Magnificent things
And they made sure their achievements
By all to be seen for:
To admire
To applaud
To cheer
To judge as
Great success
So as the people hail them as heroes
For that
Good care they took, skillfully their true
Intentions to hide
Thus
No one took notice of their devious plans,
Their sinister minds had made
So
No one discovered the true purpose of
Their actions,
The dark plans that were lurking in
Their unfeeling hearts:
Their treacherous aims to benefit
To exploit
To ruin
And
To make a huge profit for themselves, at
Any cost
Thus
Triumphant were at the end
By
Subjugated the whole nation, through
Deception,
For generations to come!*
