The Trickster

By JensGoneMad

The greatest trick of all time,
He scoffed at the people entering the "sacred" building.
"And to think most of you will never know.
I'll just grow,
And behold,
While you give and unload,
Your worries,
Your furries,
Listening to my stories,
I'm not sorry.
I'll not be made the bad guy,
I didn't start the lie,
I didn't ask them to die,
In my name.
Thus,
I have become your teacher,
Your leader,
Your bleeder.
You made me.
I am your voice,
Your choice,
Inspite all the noise,
You love me.
I'll remain
The same
Whose to really blame?
You are!"
Walking away from the "sacred" place. His held high. His peace made with the world. He laughed!
