The Pied Piper and his magical music,
The enchanting and enticing story,
Of the mice and the wice that feasted on,
The divide and deceit in the middle age!
The current world and its currency,
The decay over the decades,
The disbelief and the dismay of many,
The worst nightmares and the stark realities!
The realistic realms of reality,
Manipulation of minds and mandates,
The “fake” facts and the facade,
The brutal betrayal of conscience.
The eternal greed and the divide,
Broken Promises and the silent screams,
The lingering restlessness,
The lull before the looming storms.
