A perfectly timed strike,
A magician’s cape,
Look over there!
Magic? Deception?
Distraction!
Clever? Never!
Manipulator? Disintegrator!
Alone in dissonance
The ego rules the eye,
Near sighted, short-sighted, no sighted.
Caviar and bombs,
A dinner fit for a swindler,
While the games are played,
A puppet dances, looking for ratings.
No intent, no objective, no strategy.
It’s only a moment, a whim,
A sleight of hand.
Beware the magician!
