False Prophet

 

False prophet

 

Lauded lies electrify

Captivate the desperate eye

Flickering with fearful flame

Faraway from whence they came

Theories scribbled on the wall

Symbolised beyond recall

All the more to make them seem

Scriptures of an ancient scheme

 

Plastic shamans claiming truth

Full of ego stand aloof

Careful lest unmasked they be

Fallible like you and me

Presently behind the veil

Lucifer and Gabriel

Plan for better or for worse

From a far off universe 

 

Falsehood mixed with gospel curd

In the melting pot is stirred

Tiny morsels each will get

Hanging from the internet

Someone with a grand idea

Types in CAPS to make it clear

Morning afternoon and night

Trolling with inhuman spite

 

Thus he reads his dogma now

Amplified by people power

Unbelievable yet still

Handling his flock with skill

Promising the time is near

Meant for everybody here

Followers inside the keep

Labelling outsiders sheep
