Unpraised Man
About your quest to
know a man
Consider all his
motives
To those souls
seeking innocence
Hear this undoing of
his votives
A story-teller spins
a yarn
Manipulation weave
and weft
Collecting pieces
here and there
The camouflage akin
to theft
Then charisma charms
the weak
Alas, deceit
unfolds
Telling tales of
angelic men
Toting their plates
of gold
A magic rock will do
the trick
Placed in a darkened
hat
Hiding smirks with
whispered words
“Scribe my
prophecies!” he spat
Then gatherings were
like a drug
Fueling the widened fire
As power clasped the
hand of wealth
Call down the
heavenly choir
An angel with a
flaming sword
Would most surely do
him harm
Lest the virgins
would not submit
To him and all his
charms
As glyphs were sold
and glyphs were bought
A broad kingdom was
at stake
Thus the deceiver
was deceived
With finesse to
expose a fake
Downtrodden lead
throughout the land
Severing brains
from hearts
Blistered hands mere
busywork
Childlike burdens of
their carts
Until at last the
press was set
To unravel all
perversions
For the thinking
mind to think
And question all
conversions
And so dethroned he
sat in jail
The stolen tokens
just a farce
A mob rose up, the
man fell down
Founding members all
so sparse
Until regrouped they
soldiered on
The deception born
again
So ask yourself dear
followers
Whose belief you
would “Amen”
