CharismaA Poem by Duncan BrownThe false glimmer of charisma Casts its very leaden shadow Heavy on the light fantastic Light upon the heavy plastic Deceiving others to believe Shadows walk upon water Believing others are
convinced By the image of appearance Smiling on the surface mask Preying upon the innocence With spectacular indifference To the consequence of office Stolen by a smiling
countenance Charming with the cadence But vacant on the substance Naming names a stocking trade Charismatics are on the make Taking everything they can
take Before a world discovers a
fake Masquerading in the cloth Cut from truth to fit as
false Upon the cadaver of the
politic.
