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.
