Obfuscation

OBFUSCATION

Many when unsure, may hide their opinion
Buried within words and deflective phrases
But if lacking sense then it’s for the crazies
Yet outright lying holds little dominion
In terms of status, they’re merely a minion
And missing the point in so many cases
Thinking all tobacco is Virginian

But despite their playing such a magic trick
Those in the know can easily see right through
There’s not that many who are really that thick
But in some positions one has to be quick
And only maintaining a clear head will do
As obfuscation does make many feel sick
