Deception

bad situations
active imaginations
can kill relations
creating conspiracies
with broad designs to deceive

bloody mockery
shinigami lottery
a dichotomy
of preaching false brotherhood
so others will do no good

trying to obscure
real truths which should endure
facts filled with manure
some choose to communicate
into codes filled up with hate

white lies and false sums
psychological ransom
untruth the transom
when gaslighting has begun
take hostages without guns

multiple faces
yet none which more disgraces
truth which lies debase
dishonor become thy name
as this world is set aflame

We’re on the same page here NG, you see through the manufactured conspiracies, they tend to trip up over their own arrogance, I really feel sorry for the people who are duped and brainwashed by them, exquisitely written tankas, cheers David

Such a rhythmic flow this could be sung. It’s as though you’ve taken the pulse of the nation. You’ve seen through the curtain and seen some strings. Nice write!
