Analysis of A Web of deceit.
Corrupt politics, a web of deceit, A world of shadows and hidden elite, A game played by those in power, A system rigged to favor the tower.
Money and influence, the currency of the game, A game of power where morality's slain, A game where the people pay the price, A game where the truth is sacrificed.
Promises made to gain the vote, Lies and deceit become the coat, The coat that covers the truth beneath, The truth that's kept from the public's reach.
Backroom deals and secret pacts, A world of whispers and hidden acts, A world where justice is for sale, A world where power is the Holy Grail.
Corrupt politics, a sad state of affairs, A world where nothing is fair, A world where greed and power reign, A world where justice is slain.
But the people, they have a voice, A voice that can make the corrupt rejoice, A voice that can make them pay the price, A voice that can bring back the light.
