The Deceiver

Those in power play on our fears and our ignorance. They know that it's easier to believe a lie that one has heard a thousand times than a truth that no one has heard before. These individuals tell lies sprinkled with half truth and this is the most cowardly of lies. However, no one is a successful liar unless someone believes them; and we can easily see this happening today. Some say you can’t fool all of the people all of the time but Judging from what we see today, it isn’t necessary; a majority is quite enough. It seems to me that a tiny soul is living inside a deceitful person. The deceitful “leader” has a short blanket and when he pulls it over his face, he exposes his feet.
