Disguised

You're so full of kindness;
         an inspiration to us all.
A fallacy of encouragement;
         your empire soon to fall.

Unconditional commitment,
         is what you claim to hold.
Shoddy defamation of character,
         will finally come unfold.

You may have deluded them,
         but I'm keen to your charm.
Your satirical hidden agenda,
         no room for false alarms.

Trying to manipulate a master,
         was a humiliating attempt.
Seeing my kindness as weakness,
         has created this contempt.

Empathy I feel for you;
         for ignorance is truly bliss.
Hoping deceit would damage me;
         a densely expected remiss.

Take off that mask; show yourself.
         So everyone can honestly see. 
The evil disguised behind the words,
         allow the truth to set you free.
