We Must Look Behind the Curtain

Behind the curtain

waits the wizard

using magic

for blatant lies

Pulling strings

pushed buttons

reflecting chaos

in troubled eyes

Malevolent thoughts

wanton actions

cause the truth

to amortize

Lies coalesce

forced delusions

continually prompt

their own demise

The truth will

set you free

so I’ve been told

when one complies

Fallacies die

as we see

that truthfulness

begins to aggrandize

Yet the curtain must

be pulled back

enabling the truth

to proselytize
