Behind the façade…
The wizard stands…
Dazzling the world…
With his magic hands…
Delighting the crowds…
Using charm and sorcery…
Allowing them to access…
And indulge his fantasy…
As they gasp in wonder…
At what their eyes see…
Someone so powerful…
The man he wants to be…
Projecting a version…
How he wants to appear…
But in cold reality…
He is nowhere near…
Just a simple fairy tale…
That was never real…
He never really existed…
It’s all so surreal…
Because it’s all a show…
And if they only knew…
That behind the curtain…
Lay the real truth…
A fake and a fraud…
Hidden behind a mask…
Where his secrets reside…
And he can safely bask…
Within mirrors of smoke…
Protected by an illusion…
That deflects any notion…
And causes such confusion…
As this magician speaks…
Mixing words with voodoo…
Perfecting misdirection…
So no one can see through…
And reveal him for what he is…
Because they’d soon discover…
That behind his thin disguise…
He’s a creep like no other…
