A false-front to reality
The influential words
Stated with conviction
Can make logic sound absurd
When spoken with a certainty
The mind it can help sway
Of truthfulness and honesty
It often holds at bay
But just behind this grand facade
Where essence does reside
Sometimes the two will find
their match
But most times they divide
The cult of personality
Yes, it’s as old as time
It offered Eve the apple
While it made her feel
sublime
The enticement is to follow
it
For it makes us feel so plain
Though we all have but two
choices
And are subject to the same
It resurrects a brighter
future
Of the past, it says no more
It wants not to remind you
Of the path it trod before
The cult of personality
Often comes to you in stealth
Perhaps its greatest enemy
Is to listen to yourself
Whether fault be placed upon
the mask
That says what we long to
hear
Penalty’s paid by the
populace
For lending it their ear
Remember that a smile can be
A tool to mesmerize
If you wish to know the truth
Try looking in his eyes
