An Effectiveness That Has Manifested

What is not liked?
A clear weeding of deceit.
What is not appreciated?
An exposure of greed,
Disclosed for all to see.

What is becoming more understood?
Those wishing to turn back time,
If they could.
To ensure all interests were invested,
In humanity and goodwill.
Instead of creating a hated that kills,
With an effectiveness that has manifested...
No caring to share knowledge and skills.
And...
Done with less praying under steeples...
With a hidden reason to treason the people.

What is not liked?
A clear weeding of deceit.
What is not appreciated?
An exposure of greed,
Disclosed for all to see.

And a decadence that has gone on...
In sacred places,
Basking in hypocrisies!

Leaving no solid foundations...
For those who follow,
With hollow beliefs.

Leaving no solid foundations...
For those who follow,
Feeling an emptiness they grieve.
