The Hero

The virtue was being wronged, depicted his woeful tale of prey and innocence. 
Gradually people gathered to listen to the poignant rhetoric. 
blown away by the felon's aching, awful narration;
pitied the miserable plight, lamented the dejected tales. 

There were babbling, the throng silently protested the unfairness, the injustice. 
In innuendo, the protagonist raised the pitch of the tragic tale, the foul play. 
one day, the aggrieved throng, broke the glasshouse of the pointed swindler of innocence to penalize, 
rejoiced, contended, the folk were prattling the nature's law of justice. 

The protagonist in awe, applauded the mob for the transgression, for the hold up. 
All of a sudden, the cynosure of their eyes,
 became bean ideal of rectitude and integrity, 
applauded for the moral fortitude, honoured, doted on. 
The proclaimed perceived upright hero was silently starring, astounded at the susceptibility of the mob, utterly blind,
 subtly entangled in his devious, fabricated, intrigued  plot! 

The protagonist of the moving tale, removed the mask at the end quietly, with a sardonic laugh;
in triumph to give a puff to the credulous absurdity. 
The machiavellian hero, was meticulously eavesdropping, peeping at the gross fooly. 
The irony! The demon in disguise, is glorified by mercy of ludicrous asinine.

What a story/write. Life is filled with hurt, pain, unfairness, and injustice. I do not know why but it is the way it is. People should be kind. I have a few on my page about this. If you want the tiles soup mail me. Have a blessed day....................

the pretention is detrimental, as said that there is no dangerous creature in this world than a fake entity. When I penned that venomous hypocrisy was in my mind, though quite offbeat, finally I decided to pen it. Thanks for the analysis and inviting me to soup, would look forward dear Paula... Silpika

This poem tells a tale of deceit by a devious person, who misleads by stealth. The language used here is very dramatic, with the emphasis on the issues stated in stark terms. A very well presented case, for posterity to decide. . The use of words is different from mine, so I have to reread the lines to make sure I understand what is intended. Well done.
