Demagoguery

You've reached the pinnacle of fame where double-speak's the daily game, so many words, so little meaning, popinjay, so skilled at preening. Posing for a photo-op, your perfect hair a puissant crop, your perfect smile a sickly stare which fools the foolish everywhere. Demagoguery designed to derogate the keener mind, a smile will hide what lurks behind the gross deceptions of your kind.
