some people make you seriously wonder
about
what makes them tick so brazenly
against
all values they supposedly hold high
is it a tunnel vision
of greedy individuality?
a dangerous mix
of arrogance, innocence, ignorance?
or are they simply overwhelmed
with unexpectedly gained power
mistake the votes of people
for a mandate to play god?
unknown may be the causes
but the results are clear
if you preach water but drink wine
throw precious pearls before swine
say things today that you deny tomorrow
folks may still listen to your words
but do no longer follow the meaning
of perma-hype that makes no sense
sooner or later
they‘ll simply stop listening
