Manipulation

I often find This word misused The socially blind Have abused A favorite of mine I will explain I dedicate this rhyme To it's name A malicious twiddle Intentional distortion To make another feel little Or enhance one's portion Words with a purpose Though the speaker plays dumb Sly as a serpent Pressed under one's thumb Strategic actions Calculated crimes Specific reactions Often times I'll slow down a bit To be more clear So the definition I spit Will surly adhere It's a deliberate act To benefit the actor Yet keeping tact Doesn't appear a factor Being mean Revealing no fault A crime so clean One won't get caught Make no mistake It doesn't have to be bad I'm writing for the sake Of arguments had Once understood The definition Look under the hood Study the ignition At this time You will realize It's not always assigned For hungry eyes It can be used to describe Distorting an object A whole other side I won't neglect I will, however Leave it at that Trusting you're clever My words won't fall flat
