A Man Possessed – A Poem of Mine

de1

A man possessed
by the power of deceit,
lost in a forest
of his admirers.

He’s drunk on the syrup
he extracts from each tree,
he’s one of those intoxicating liars.

Controls and demeans
through the power of their dreams,
he says what he needs to lour them.

He flounders around
and laughs when they’re down,
there’s nothing he’s doing that fazes him.

He trips on their roots
and is scared they’ll find proof
but he’s set in his ways of abusing them.
