Drenched in Duplicity

 

Despair falls like the waters of a cataract on all humanity

in which life seems to offer very little certainty

With the best of intentions we struggle to survive

in a world in which few are able to thrive

 

Those who rule the roost of immense power

live divorced from reality in their Ivory Tower

To acquire power and wealth they deceive

all of us are required in them to believe

 

They live in luxury with money taken from the poor

who by lack of guile are susceptible to lure

Their duplicity is fed by well versed propoganda

leaving us with no option but to surrender

 

For these are those who hold the keys to hell

to ignore all the prophets who rang the warning bell

The day of reckoning is on the horizon

when they will drink the draught of their own poison

 

Politicians are an insidious and manipulative breed

we need to awaken from slumber and take heed

With oceans to the east and west

they have long since had of their best

 

Their duplicity is increasingly apparent

no longer will they have any power inherant

They say one thing and do the other

separating one brother from another

 

But the day will soon dawn

and the clarion bells will warn

The mighty from their thrones will fall

and the lost and forgotten will have their all
