Befuddlement Unraveled

Devotion to secrets
causes the betrayal
of those devoted
to the truth.
If those who wish to conceal a wrong
fear exposure acutely enough,
the cost of maintaining the illusion skyrockets,
overall trust depreciates,
distraction
diversion
dramatics
And, if necessary, histrionics
become the order of the day,
and one by one
all involved
in the maintenance of the lie
become
the
shlimazl.
