Presidents aren’t born

But rather, they are built

Their strings are revealed

When the issues begin to tilt


Funny how candid they are

When they are just candidates

But when in office

That's when the matrix activates


That's when the strings get pulled

And the wires get crossed

The morals go out the window

And his message gets lost




They have ways

To shut people out

Who notice and point out

That his voice

Doesn’t really match his mouth…



And his words don't

Match his actions

While the other folks

Fall for the joke

They don’t even

Notice what happened...


An anticipated reaction


Either they are not interested

Or they are too busy taking sides

Or way too distracted to try

To follow the storyline



“The right and left- battle it out

Oh what a show!”

Though…

They’ve been doing this for years…

And have nothing to show?



They say that they will fight for us

But I’m not so certain

And no one ever acknowledges

The man behind the curtain



He is very mysterious

But obvious just the same

No one pays attention

This is essential to their game


Some people are awed by this facade

Others see straight through it

Refusing to applaud the fraud

Knowing it's not legit


Unless the audience stands up

Fed up with this pretending

The plot to this puppet show

Won’t have a happy ending…
