The Hustler

Avail the darkness    
Curtail the right    
Delight the conniver    
Restrict his fight    
   
Stagnate the collar    
Mandate his fate    
Release the scholar    
And empty his plate    
   
Secure his weakness    
Ascribe his plight    
Deflate his honour    
Pervert his sight    
   
Be tasked with denial    
Be masked at will    
Earmarked and green-eyed    
Swallow the pill    
   
Manage the deniers    
Banish their views    
Refuse introspection    
And slaughter their muse    
   
Inundate their good nature    
A mate for disdain    
Uncover the hustler    
And the lies he has lain    
   
Withered and boughten    
Feeding the snake    
Slithered and rotten    
Exposing the fake    
   
But a wisp of keen envy    
We’re no longer controlled    
His words lapse in exodus    
A profit widely extolled
