Duked
I’ll call you a sucker
But that ain’t quite right,
You reek of betrayal
And swallowed the light.
Did you drink the Kool-Aid?
Bow low, kiss the ring?
Now you’ve got buyer’s remorse
Feel the blade as it stings.
Are you a loyalist,
Blind in your grace?
Ready to bleed
Just to save their face?
You’ll take the bullet,
They’ll walk away clean.
You die for a cause
They live like kings.
You’ve been duked, my friend
Sold out and used.
The crown they wore
Left you bruised.
Now I have to live in a world that is of your making.
