Words and Figures

Presenting the world of stats and sentences
With ways and means to confound the senses
Old-fashioned deceit with modern techniques and tools
to tap into the ocean of educated fools

Some privileged to have studied and seen
what others may have or not
Present words and figures making them mean
something that they are not
Cherry-picking from cluttered contamination
Bringing operators into operation
Working with a vigorous verve
to fit the squiggly curve
A likely-to-be-unlikely story
Basks in mathematically proven glory
Words and figures show up with a whole new meaning
Appearances often end up deceiving
The masses seeing and blindly believing
Share whatever they are receiving

A lifeline for the apparent indelibility
through solid support from questionable credibility
Strengthened by a mention of authority
Of modern-day masters or archaic texts
the commons, facing the apparent superiority
surrender in an unfortunate no-contest

A holy unholy nexus gets the wheels of power to turn
Ready to hit out at those who question, think, discern
Some see through the charade, some never can or never will learn
