the charlatan will quote from the holy book
and lecture on war and peace from sofas
offering advise and opinions
yet speaking in the voice of a child
musing in the playground of juveniles
The wisest of all ordained
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child,
think like a child, reason like a child;
when I became a man,
I did away with childish things
the charlatan lies to themselves in fanciful disgrace
twisting and fogging to hide the dip
accusations are thrown to cloud the truth
its always the other never them
like the child of the narcissists wears the mask
handed down from father to son
when called out
turn the table and steal a march on them
yes soldier you may survive the war
but the atrocities of you and other like you
will haunt you to your dying days
At ease,
Yenson
