The power you lust for.
by
Sweet speeches structured, a franchise formula.
Loud and invoking, the power you want is wrong.
Power to convince, to persuade, to control so you may exalt yourself.
A license to encourage subtle brainwash.
Teaching people to be medievil, to shun reality.
This masterpiece we call daily life is transforming, don´t turn it into a monster.
The humility you ditched in the last month of your ascent.
The microphone rattles with a "do as I say and not as I do" rattle.
As if you could lead by example.
Telling, selling and dwelling on people´s prejudice, not a premise to live.
No fancy bigotry will get you closer to the power you lust for.
