Never Cry Wolf

Do you take for granted what they say
Do you believe their tongues of hate
If you'd just know what they contemplate
Then you could see their true plea
Don't feed us nonsense - tell us no lies

Your words' hidden meaning is poorly disguised
Your threats don't affect us
We are not afraid of all you prognosticate
Never cry wolf
Don't you see they only want your vote
To enforce commandments they promote
They rewrote

Prowling - overseeing - luring
Scanning the horizon for potential prey
Striking - victimizing - binding
Rallying the masses, stirring the crowd
Deceive all whose protection you vowed
