Lie

Weaving stories in the dark of night 

With lies spinning in plain sight 

Fabricating reality the way it's needed 

For dependence, in the minds of masses, to be seeded   

Rolling the dice of emotions and pity 

And bringing in the elements of sympathy 

To get better of innocent people 

As their voice lays undoubting and feeble   

Stirring up a scene of sentiments 

And showcasing it to the audience 

As awaited reaction starts swelling up 

commercializing it and piling profits up   

A world that revolves around made up things 

With deceptive colors of facades, illuding 

The fangs of the evil, waiting to attack 

By clever maneuvers and stabbing in the back.
