Chicanery

Belief in existence overtakes the tangibility of truth, seeds of falsehood and preconception sown in innocence of youth, Buying evry ounce of honey-coated hypocrisy, Selling and meeting every demand, Leading an army of sycophants, no reason for honor or deference to stand, Concealing infinite truth on a long forgotten dusty shelf, Forging allegory while spinning corrupt candor manufactured to permeate the secret self, Silver tongues and sticky fingers peddle fool's gold and misinformation, Significant reality on a permanent vacation, Integrity a fable told, consigned to childhood, Double talk and double standards are currency traded for caring falsehood, Gleaming society flashing avarice and deference, saccharine diamonds left in the sun, Attaining complacent contentment assuring the faithless agenda won, On the heels of the Pied Piper readily seduced into following any leader, Altruism blurred and abandoned thought obscured by a progressive impeder, an analog nightmare distorts palpable fidelity guiding deeply jaded virtue into a pawn, Subdued acquiescence is the genocide of sincerity everything unalloyed lost in the nuclear dawn, Beguiled by fallible evidence felt only in blind eyes, Calculating principals lure yielding vacant idol worshipers along to hungrily devour the sweetest cotton candy lies.
