Literature Text

You preach good intentions
As you slaughter the poor
You ignore your faults
While forcing everyone else's
Down their throats

Have you even read
What you claim to believe?
Do you understand the gravity
Of the words that you speak?
Or do you just not care?

The poor man's blood
Falls on your head
Still you party and drink
Sinking in your greed
Undaunted by the unending bloodshed

You rule by fear
While squashing the truth underfoot
Twisting the words
That a better man said
To fit what you want to hear

Your heart is far from pure
As are your bloodstained hands
The facade of purity you parade
Fools no one, but suppresses everyone
The tyranny must end

The poor man's blood
Falls on your head
Still you party and drink
Sinking in your greed
Undaunted by the unending bloodshed

The poor man's blood
Falls on your head
You will account for his death
Sunken in your greed
Drowning in all the bloodshed

The ever-changing duplicity is indeed the trait of the Lord of a Thousand Faces.
