The Under Rug Swept Prophecy

He will be taken 
to a corner of the world
forced to live without
charged with false accusations
enprisoned and doomed
a fate worse than death

no one knows where this jail is
or who he is
or when his final day may be

the sins of the world laid to rest upon saving this one life
blamed for the roots of all evils
from spilling seeds to crookery

detailed
yet location and time a mystery
codes and signs developed
for who knows what

loving the sin and not the sinner
the devil owes thee
and may try to prove his cunning and sly
get out of his end of the bargain

the wool pulled off the wolf
the tag passed
back to the conference
hidden agendas and full blown sabotoge witnessed

the devils fate here misread
blackmailed with 
paid to smile in his presence
two sides, bait and switch
thousands accepting bribes
left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing

lady luck runs out
to give the key to father time
