The Mind of a Strategist
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

The Mind of a Strategist

The mind of a strategist is deadly

It throws its throes at smarting generations
-pulverises the lofty ideals
that had once struck the right chords to make today.
-thrives on the devastation it creates for the morrow

Its stratagems and statistics confound
sweet yester's smooth social laws
-upends the power of Nature and Grace

Its smiles are plastered with toothless greed
its gums untruth
-it slithers its venom furtively down
the corridors of power
The mind of a strategist is deadly.
