Leaders Dictators Master Manipulators Distort Truth Poem by Terence George Craddock

how can leaders get away with distortions of truth obvious facts?
how will master manipulator recruit people to racist personal cause?
will people believe half truths distortions lies if told often enough?
will people believe if falsehoods lies are what heart wants to believe?

the power of lies reflecting peoples fears knows few boundaries?
do spoilt rich not have an irrational fear of losing coveted wealth?
do leaders dictators not have a fear of losing their power irrational?
pretenders to throne will claim the throne if they coup can believe?

who will deceit sow seed of dissent
among good common gullible people?
who will stir bitter ashes civil unrest?

malice sown on flame red wind are successful lies
rumour planted lies revenge fanned false accusations
sown from how tiny a grain of venom distorted truth?
