‎What’s worse than a beautiful lie, ‎painted in charm, cloaked in seduction? ‎Its lips smooth as butter, ‎its taste sweet as nectar— ‎a trap meant to soothe the sheep. ‎ ‎Blinded by their own “wisdom,” ‎they stumble, foolish in the empire’s gaze. ‎Fools! Hungry for the milk of the land, ‎leaving scraps for the lesser ones. ‎ ‎“Power shift,” they call it—authority, ‎titles dressed to look like truth. ‎Yet they are pawns, ‎sacrificed for a lesser good. ‎ ‎Trampling weaker vessels ‎for a week of fading fame. ‎Maybe the world applauds, ‎but through the eyes of the less, ‎their truth is exposed. ‎
