Trapped

 

Trapped

 

Your actions deliberate,

Accompanied by all the right people,

Consorting with all the wrong people,

The convoluting paper trail devious,

The handshake that is the wink:

A trap to keep your rivals in.

The words you speak,

Twisted, malformed, mismatched,

Meaning hidden in plain sight,

Couched in drivel,

Calling your hounds,

Who make explanation:

A trap to keep your enemies in.

Empty deeds full leveraged,

Revolving documents intertwined,

Your name proclaimed denominate,

Your pillaging performed for paying Paul,

A ravage of indebtedness,

The eighth ball in front always,

A lordship claimed while owing all:

A trap to keep yourself in.

The gaming of the system,

The spurning of justice,

The maligning of the keepers,

Hiding behind misinterpretation,

Calculated condescension,

Convoluting Constitution,

A trap you have put yourself in.

Now the jaws close,

Now the noose gathers,

Now the wheel turns,

Now the table is set,

Now karma calls.

Now it is before you:

The trap you have always been in.

You are a victim of yourself,

You will never know it.

Thus will you go to your grave,

Unsung and unwanted,

Ignorant and afraid.

Goodbye.
