Insidious
Ask for right tact to see whole truth,
Note the real need to be not blind.
Indulge plain fact in simple proof,
Notice bad seeds that fruit in kind;
See power play in crafty moves,
Insidious whim flavours mad wit;
Dread plots shrewd stay in hidden grooves,
Insight grows dim in scattered bits;
Obscure ways hide such evil men,
Urge funds conceit in subtle ploys;
Sense then false pride here, now and then.
War fuels deceit with puppet toys,
Arms and weapons in brutal hits,
Raise death's pension as terror slits.
