The Sign of Two

They vacate their personality They put their hands above their level of subsistence They paint themselves gold in the midst of admirers They paint their lying lips with their lipstick of deceit They divide themselves Like Landed properties They delude themselves in false pretense They live on borrowed robes to undress their true personality They let themselves to be destroyed by the belong syndrome They deceive the fragile minds of their followers They Lay their foundation with their sweet tongue and cement it with a thousand lies They cough out sweet stories to sandwich the brains of their victims They create an atmosphere of affluence in the eyes of on lookers They begin to move, shake. and tremble in the face of uncertainty After all they are the movers and shakers of the society. The foundation begins to crumble as the lies begins to unearth Then, the stammering mouth folds up in shame as the true person is revealed
