You Came In Welcome

You came astride resplendent With acquisitions of wealth underfoot Promising every door and lock you possessed a master key too You promised gluttony till never stop sweating only the very best cuts of meat A seat just for i to stand alone A golden tethered throne with crown and mistress to follow You promised adulation throngs of kneeling crowd's You promised me nirvana To oversee But never once did you tell me or forewarn me of the pitfalls Lurching in the shadows in front not behind me You stole a march by caressing both my hand Left with paper the right with cloth Under the pretense all the while that i was in fact the boss But it was nothing more than cotton candy sugar overload That fizzled out once placed in mouth and bridge the saliva on the tounge

Lies, trickery, deceit ... the smiling face of the fawning ... Promises every time, poor results every time ... Intoxication by adulation and sugar this is evil, and in the end only the bitter taste of false sweetness ...salute alkas
