Ah, dazzled by the dark messiah's calculating tongue,
Panoply of a scheming soul residing deep in his being -
Engaging the mindless herds gathering all around him.
Rue the day when he is exposed as he truly is, that no
Conniption, remorse or hair wringing could ever undo.
Until the next election comes along, just grit your teeth!
