Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Free verse

Deception

They appeared before the people as 
Saviors 
With promises to accomplish many  
Magnificent things
And they made sure their achievements
By all to be seen for: 
To admire 
To applaud 
To cheer
To judge as 
Great success
So as the people hail them as heroes 
For that
Good care they took, skillfully their true
Intentions to hide 
Thus
No one took notice of their devious plans, 
Their sinister minds had made
So
No one discovered the true purpose of 
Their actions,
The dark plans that were lurking in  
Their unfeeling hearts:
Their treacherous aims to benefit
To exploit
To ruin
And 
To make a huge profit for themselves, at
Any cost 
Thus
Triumphant were at the end 
By 
Subjugated the whole nation, through 
Deception,
For generations to come!*

* Sorry but cannot remain silent before the devastation of my country.
Yesterday, BBC, presented all facts concerning the Greek crisis. Whoever 
wishes to know more, he has only to see the facts presented.

Demetrios Trifiatis July 21, 2015 at 4:37 AM I am not silent and I am strong, dear Tim. Do not worry about that. What worries me are the things that are not in my control! Thank you for your visit and comment. Very much appreciated.

Jan Allison July 20, 2015 at 7:54 AM I think the title sums up the situation perfectly - I will try and catch up with the programme Demetrios:-) Hugs Jan xx Demetrios Trifiatis July 21, 2015 at 4:42 AM Observing eighty and ninety- year- old people waiting in line and ready to collapse for sixty Euros, breaks one heart. It is inhuman!!!! The criminals are those who have deceived the people. Thank you Jan.
