HYPOCRATE

Playacting is not new. But some people's drama have sent multitudes into a living hell.

You told us you had attained nirvana
and we believed in you.
Your progress wasn't even as far as Havana.
We know your claims are "not true".
You promised a potion that’d give us
wings like a drake;
but you left unsaid the fact
that he was a snake.
You excited us with pictures of a world that's alternate
but never said our joy it would terminate.

You wooed us with songs denouncing the misanthrope.
It was a subterfuge; you’re just a xenophobe
dressed in the garb of an apostle.
I can't believe you made us fawners with your epistles.
Now you've turned us into foes
labelled by your sycophants as low?
You accused us of being diseased by apostasy
and your acolytes say we suffer from apoplexy;
but who made you a judge over us?
And what gave them the right to insult us?

You preach a lot about coming Utopia
but haven't taken us as far as Ethiopia.
Yea! we rated you godlike; invincible like Hercules.
Oh we've turned clock-like!
We know you've got a weakness like Achilles.
