On the podium he stood upon high
with lights shinning brightly
behind and filtered from the ceiling
as if he himself radiated
arms raised fingers outstretched
the audience waited
for their charismatic leader to speak
words of wisdom did seek!
Like a multitude of disciples gathered
zealous in their beliefs
of his words philosophy and agenda
most certain all was well
as he spoke the sound echoed loudly
on carefully placed speakers
giving each a full euphoric sensation
adding to their fanatical fixation!
To them he was their one true leader
no matter what happened
he could do no wrong ignoring facts
even as the stories grew
he was their Savior in their community
thought of as a God
though human could not be corrupt
with adulation they did erupt!
To the wider population tension increased
they saw the coming mark of the beast!
