Topic: The Genius Of Deceit
I was thinking about the world stage when I wrote this. I was trying to write a song but ended up writing a poem instead.
The Genius of Deceit
In a world where shadows twist and twine,
With hearts of gold and spades malign,
Two geniuses dance on the stage's light,
One weaves joy, the other, fright.
The beautiful mind draws the tears of grace,
Crafts vibrant dreams in a warm embrace,
While the evil wit plays a sinister game,
With laughter that echoes in a hall of shame.
Oh, how they charm with their sweet, sweet lies,
Whispers like honey while intent defies;
Manipulators without brilliance or spark,
They con the noble in daylight and dark.
Do superpowers rise from genius so bright?
Or manipulators who thrive in the night?
For kingdoms built on deceit’s wicked thread,
Can collapse as easily as dreams left for dead.
Desire feeds both with insatiable need,
Fighting for hearts like a ruthless steed;
Yet only one builds on truth’s steady ground—
The other spins tales for profit unbound.
Education falters where trust wears thin,
Equality falters where chaos begins;
Now behold humanity embroiled in their duel—
A battle of minds played with wit as the fuel.
So stand back and watch as the duelists vie:
The foolish may cheer while the wise wonder why;
For beauty and darkness converge in this play—
Which will shape our future come judgment day?
