An evocative protest poem, by Shernaz, exclusively for Different Truths.
rendered sightless by arrogant oratory suspended in a state of foolish denial swept off their feet, they cart-wheeled oblivious to the deception concealed fastened on falsehoods painted white hollow words by the fraudster pledged theatrical smiles and melodramatic tears ooze a choosy melody into dogmatic ears time has flown as it does...chagrined, disappointed, disillusioned; cursing their fate not the lunacy of having deified the ungodly blind adulation persists — ever so oddly equality is on the ventilator... Will we just let it go? The death-knell rings loud and clear a warning that even the deaf must hear.
