«Smoke & Mirrors» by Karlyn Miraflor

«They» will bring peace to reconstruct humanity.
Misleading promises running hearts of the millions wanting to belong in a «community» that steer wrong.
Adoration mistaken for patriotism
Insanity at extremes, «we» bleed while «they» make fool of «us» once more.

Empty pockets of seedless labor «we» learn to endure
Extravagance «they» take pleasure;
stealing what belongs to «us» in comfort.
Bolstering duplicity- an ailment that fails to cease in a fallen society.

Loyalty in «them» will keep shattering future of the living and dying.
To walk with blindfold in liberty is a trail that will only lead us backward
Devotion without logic is a disgrace to our beloved country.
Where «you» at, now?
