Poker Faced Man

Have you seen the poker-faced man holding a deck of cards in his hand? He shows no emotions and displays no surprise but continuously fabricates the world’s most sinister lies.
 
He gives two personas to present to us all, and manipulates his way into power to hasten our fall.
 
Unseen, all pervasive, he hides our demise, the Jin and Jang of deception, suppression and lies.
 
False dichotomy adopting agents of fraud to change our perception and influence our thoughts to believe their deception they hold so dear, and brainwash the masses into the directions they steer.

His hidden hand controls all we know, to escape his web, where should we go? 
The poker face man will outlive all of us, but his day will come when he’s turned into dust.
 
Judgement will rise and will fall, crush his deception, rendering him naked, exposed to us all.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
