Suppressing Truth

Significance is signalized by interest Unfounded truths can damage sworn loyalty People seem friends, but act like wolves Praising their false deeds instead of the true ones Rotten inside, twisting words that are so convincing Eliminating the evidence of extraordinary things Shimming, as demons enter their malicious souls Shoving aside what's good, holy and blessed In impetous haste, they suppress every truth Naiveness is not found in their impious character Glory they demand, but nothing they are willing to give Tarot reading must be accurate, or curses will follow Ruling with deception, they reduce others to poverty Uluate they won't, to conceal their obvious unhumaness Tyrants shake their hands and promise them prominent positions Horace himself would have despised these impudent, unethical folks

A lot of truth in this poem, Andrew. I'm tired of seeing offers of prominent positions made for people to perform political favors. The demons are always waiting to invade souls and too often they succeed. Congratulations on your HM in the contest! Love, Carolyn
