Deception

A world where 
Reading between lines
Is a child’s play.
To have it all
Just can’t be a winner 
But a grandmaster.


Without You -- Mineus You

i
you are missed
not the fence-sitter
the open-hearted you

why hide
from truth, small ... large
the earth spins on (MINE US)

Manipulation
Pressing the buttons that count
       Refined seduction


          Manipulation
Of puppets on strings controlled
      By hidden agendas

Diluted

And when you tear 
open my rib cage 
I'd like for you to
make me something 
beautiful
The bearings of my
insides I hope are
useful to you
I hope I am useful to
you.

Blinded

• The pitch black sky shines brighter than you • I don't know why I stayed • All this time I thought you cared • I was too blinded to see I've been played

Premium Member No Change

Changing time develops changes in perception.
The flaw of once may today get an exception.
Manipulation takes away morals off-site.
But ethics keep us humans and  hold us upright.

Work Smarter Not Harder

It is ridiculous to think that being peaceful implies weakness.

If you want your peace, you must be willing to fight for it.

As in protests.

If you want to lead a war, you must be a pacifist.

As in manipulation.

Snake charmer tricks a Cobra

Premium Member Power Manipulation

Politicians are manipulated by bankers, lawyers and big businessmen.
Politicians in turn manipulates the mass population.
Whenever I hear terms such as "democracy" and "freedom,"
I hear things that don't truly exist other than an illusion.

Manipulated Life

Money, has not given, all life quality
Money, has not given, all life peace
Money, has not given, all life inspiration

Money, has given, all life inequality 
Money, has given, all life desperation
Money, has given, all life manipulation

Lies and Manipulation

as I write
my fingers type
but do I think
of what I write?

for when I think 
I have no ink
but when I'm free
my fingers flee

a melody of written words
with no direction only turns
that lead us to a destination
filled with lies and manipulation

Premium Member Why Poetry

My appetite is kindled
when oppression commands
the world,
to reach deep down
inside of me
to find a common verb.
Broken men
that have no
answers,
victims to them
that do,
all types of manipulation
for them
without a clue!

Radio News Programmes

We hear presenters views,
We hear the production teams views,
We hear carefully selected views,
We hear whatever they choose,

Is it a manipulation of views?
On a massive platform for views!
People out of pocket & views!
Surely not! Or is it! You choose!!

Extraordinary Evidence

Sometimes I don’t know what to think
When I hear your story, I’m almost convinced 
Because I don’t have extraordinary evidence for my claims 
Just a hazy memory, a gnawing feeling, and a name

When I forget and when I doubt
I close my eyes and figure it out

Mommy...

Mommy…
You lie through your teeth to me,
 im your daughter how can you not see.
 If I could change why cant you?
 Why cant you see the bad things you do?
 By manipulation and even pain,
 I thought you were better, I thought you would change. 
But you didn’t.

Limitation

LIMITATION
In the search for infinity, I find all of limitation
While finding the limitation, I realize all of evidence
Are you saying that you are the manipulation
Let's concentrate on looking for our lost confidence

Premium Member Corruption's Nameless Face

Sustained by dense manipulation 
corruption rears its ugly head
hiding its identity
behind masks of deceit...
the violator
abuses with 
a nameless
coward’s
face.

Subliminal Manipulation

I have my reasons-
most of which you'll never know;
I have my precedents,
for every friend and every foe.

My obsession is subliminal manipulation-
based on mutual obligation,
and entire recreation

using my imagination's-
idea of accommodation

	&Personal inspiration.

Hole in my heart

A suppurating crater
festers and gapes
in my heart
desiccated by hordes
of plunderers
who gorge on marrow
enshrouded in crevices
where love pleads
for refuge and succour
before gelid goons
controlling a pedigree
of sycophants
reframed to shield
their masters
from imagined devilry.

24 Murder Me Sestets

Let me die from its rage
   I am no Lab rat which finds jolly from the syringe
   I am also human, I see no colour lest it's red...
   For we all drip blood when hurt. Bring back my sanity
Liberate me from this syndrome, slash global cooperation
Playing us like a solitaire, African mental manipulation
Form: Ballad

Manipulation Beaters

Stripped into auspicious
Feeding on vacuous
Tongue tied inversion
Masterful assimilation
Befuddled into coercion
The ******** on creation
A fortress in distinction
Disentangled from catipulation
Disemburdened from aberration
Digression from complaisant
Dispensation of prerogative
Perfunctory of repurchase
