A Speaker who speaks silently.
He hides in plain sight openly.
Bearing no color, chatting amiably,
amid many-hued others feverishly
there to cover stories that bleed wickedly.
He seems so normal; and, so confidently
preaches stories and fables smilingly.
Keeping all entertained endlessly
as their eyes fall from the prize of democracy,
Stolen and hidden in his wallet shamelessly
are votes cast, all hopes bashed easily.
He smiles calmly, benignly and evilly.
He leads as his party follows blindly.
Hiding in the spotlight openly.
His weight placed upon freedom crushingly.
