№ 704: The Illusionist's Game Plan (the method to the madness)

DONNIEWORLD (October 14)

1. Misdirect the masses attention.
2. Play to aggrieved delusions.
3. Accuse opponents of condescension.
Victory's a foregone conclusion.


Now they see it.
Now they don’t.
Now it was never there.
Your hand is too small
to palm pennies or dimes.
Aware of your “hair”,
they can't see your crimes.


You learned from the master,
crooked Roy Cohn,
a totally immoral weasel,
if you entertain ’em
give 'em a show
almost anything’s feasible.
They gawk and they gape
and they applaud,
they beg you to never stop it.
They chant your name,
they call you their king.
They never feel
your hand in their pocket.


Whatever you do,
deny doing anything.
YOU HAVE
AGAIN!
BEEN DEFAMED!
Followers swallow obvious crap.
They feel exactly the same.


The fight was not fair,
the contest was rigged,
They, too, were denied their due.
Malevolent forces are everywhere. 
They, THE GOOD PEOPLE,
they are with you,
their hero true, brave and strong.
The PEOPLE'S CHAMPION,
who is never wrong.
A savior to fix unbelievable evil,
undo their defeats, punish the cheats
and free them from feeling enfeebled.

All those opposed
must be corrupt.
And if not shot,
should, at least,
be locked up.
