There was a leader
who cried wolf
So often that he
Befuddled the people
with whoppers running
The gamut from a to
z.
The more he cried
wolf, the more the leader's
Stories wouldn't
stop.
He kept it up and
everyone watched his
Approval ratings
drop.
The group surrounding him joined in
And cried wolf as
well.
In all of that
country's history,
There was no
parallel.
"Wolf!
Wolf!" he'd cry, and his public
Ran to his defense
Again and again,
totally
Defying common
sense.
Eventually, more
caught on;
Skepticism rose.
And fewer people let
themselves
Be led around by the
nose.
Whether or not the
leader believed
His stories would
empower him,
Wise folk knew
that sooner or later
The truth would
devour him.
