Carnival Man<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In shadows deep, a leader seeks his game,
His heart a void, where darker dreams are spun,
With power’s grip, to make the poor more lame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A fascists’ guise, no remorse or shame,
A con man’s grin, where trust is undone,
In shadows deep, a leader seeks his game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manipulative, a narcissist’s flame,
Insecure, yet to his ego, none,
With power’s grip, to make the poor more lame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dunderhead, playing a fool’s acclaim,
A big-mouth’s roar, under a setting sun,
In shadows deep, a leader seeks his game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Self-obsessed, in wealth’s relentless claim,
An impulsive clown, where greed has begun,
With power’s grip, to make the poor more lame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His narrative the same as the mustache one from the past,
Fear they believe in, too late for otherwise,
Like quick sand, they cannot escape,
In shadows deep, a leader seeks his game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ego maniac, in riches’ name,
he crafts his world, where compassion is shunned,
In shadows deep, a leader seeks his game,
With power’s grip, to make the poor more lame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
