We are susceptible

We are susceptible to cheaters

rumor mongers, liars

forecasters and the hate spreaders

we act as innocent followers

we do not easily carry away

and say

nothing against wrongdoers

but act as silent spectators

it is said "even the dead snake gets you an award"

the junk item yields best prize never heard before

but hatred views take us nowhere

but threaten peace everywhere

nobility or good people find no place in your company

you try to find suitable words in the dictionary

you have ready words for hate speech

and reach at a level not able to come back

We are playing convenient role

and give a call

to accommodate views

for the benefit of few
