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…
