Hidden Flaws
Hidden flaws cannot be seen
through the lens of a blind eye.
Thus, shadows collaborate to hide hate,
as pretense helps bigotry stay unseen:
but it is there; merely open your eyes.
A collection of tall tales;
History's a false teacher.
Brutality, cruelty, greed, and fear:
are but tools we use to manipulate
and amplify murder to genocide.
War is a God-given right:
pacifists are all traitors!
As effective today as in the past:
for lies are the preferred motivator;
a proven way to control the masses.
We tout our belief in God
when it serves us to do so.
Democracy appears designed to fail:
for it struggles not to be overthrown
by psychopaths with political might.
And ambition is funded
by big money to this day.
