So you trust that
the Wizard
Will get you home
again?
When you're left
behind,
What will you do
then?
Many see the Wizard
In different
manifestations
And fail to
recognize
The charlatan's
limitations.
Is he a giant head,
Full of fury and
ire?
Is he a heartless
monster
Or a raging fire?
Don't you realize
You've made a huge
mistake
By putting all your
trust in
A flimflam man, a
fake?
The show fools many
Who don't see past
the façade--
Who scorn others who
try
To open their eyes
to fraud.
He doesn't want the
people
To see what he
really is--
To see how he has
managed
To acquire all
that's his.
He will try to
convince you
That what he sells
you is fair.
Then one day your
find
He's nothing but hot
air.
Just be grateful
when--
And it couldn't
happen too soon--
The sly, slippery
Wizard
Sails off in his hot
air balloon.
