Veil of Virtue
Shiny suits to match slithering tongues,
Words spit out with a venomous spew,
Twisting truths, trading principles for rotten desires,
Play the impoverished like pawns,
Lies slip through freshly scraped teeth,
Clean as the polished shoes that walk on water,
Saviour of the masses, they proclaim
While teary eyes and songs of praise fill the air,
Closed doors hide the handshakes that seal the deal,
Loyalty sold,
Loyalty bought,
Rotten desires fight for power,
Not for the people,
Only for those who wield the sword,
Spoken so eloquently with words wrapped in parables and riddles,
Tales spun of paupers and promised land,
Burning bush reveals no truth;
Burning bridges, burning ladders, burning ties,
Promises broken,
Hearts shattered,
Hope manipulated by illusions,
Mind corrupt,
Where truth is sacrificed for favours,
Loyalty sold,
Loyalty bought,
Industrialized commerce,
Humanity forgotten,
A conscience emptied and hollowed,
Deception a philosophy cloaked in false virtue,
Reality misconstrued,
Hymns and dances for empty victories,
Pockets thickened,
Wounds deepened,
And so the story continues.
