Effigy
Iconic emblem whose heart do you represent today.What name have they laid upon your altar.
Which smiling caricature leaves his false credo for weakness to grasp.
Shall this new shining effigy begin where those predecessors failed.
Speaking of fairness, complacent leadership, uplifting the needy, lulling our dreams to theirs.
Replica of the people seeking friendship from every side.
You cunning word-smith loosen those twisted arrows to darken hearts.
This repertoire beguiles those strong-minded, gathering greater numbers to his will.
Peace binds amid the foulness surrounding his lectures and achievements.
Greatness abounds as his leadership is offered up for others.
Behold his effigy in white, witness the herald go forth proclaiming him king.
Simulacrum of egotism he begins the destiny laid before him.
Bringing about his father's rein, the tribulations of the end.
Will those faithful children see this counterpart of God.
Will they recognized his false effigy.
Will they raise their voices against his effrontery.
Shall we tear his effigy asunder..........
