The Man Behind the Curtain

[Christsfreeservant]

Who’s the man behind the curtain?
And is he good, or is he bad?
Does he care about the people?
Or do the people make him mad?

Is he a man of just self-interest,
Who thinks now only of himself,
Who puts the needs of all the people
Neatly stacked upon a shelf?

Is he dishonest and malicious,
Someone opposite of good?
Not trustworthy, egocentric,
Fakes that he’s misunderstood?

And really he is a deceiver?
Manipulator at its best?
Who tries to get all of the people
In his future to invest?

Does he fake that he’s a Christian,
Hoping Christians follow him?
Thinking that he is their Wizard,
Make things better now for them?

What’s he teaching them, in practice?
Be dishonest, tell your lies?
All so you will gain acceptance?
And so you they’ll not deny?

Who’s the man behind the curtain
Hiding who he really is?
Anyone who hides the truth
So others think he’s quite the Wiz.

Many are them, multiplying,
Speak the lies and not the truth.
Be now wise and so discerning
So you not taken by a ruse.
