Hear the man chatter
about the greatness he exudes.
He has the mass thinking
his words are golden;
his deeds are true.
But, pull the curtain aside
And you’ll see
A scared little man
hiding for so long
behind a voice so loud
That he doesn’t know himself.
Of those who seek him...
Can't recognize the Lost
Can't recognize the Brave
Can't recognize the Wise
Can't recognize the Heart.
.
He keeps the delusion going,
even if the outsiders see it all.
For, all he has is his propaganda
to keep the mass from
pulling aside
that curtain held together
by delicate strands
that even a little dog
can pull it aside
and reveal the real face
of the wizard behind the curtain.
