COLLUSION…
Only vaguely illegal
it always begs for more,
masquerading as truth
as it slips inside the door
mis-representing.., what you
believe to be true,
consciously deceiving
what you thought you knew
evil its true nature
with intentions just to harm,
void of things like honor
lacking any charm
a secret understanding
to gain the upper hand,
conspiring to profit
whoever else be damned
this agreement to defraud
lie without a care,
denying someone else
their just and rightful share
always indefensible
it cuts without a knife,
leaving only scars
on now a tainted life
"you scratch my back
I'll scratch yours…"
go along to get along
and so the tale begins,
revealing unfair motives
all the lies it spins
demeaning all its victims
robs you of your pride,
leads you down a path
from which you cannot hide
it's lurking in the shadows
devising the illusion,
preying on the weak
that's what they call -- collusion.

This was such a deep poem. I personally thought about the harm of bureaucracy while reading it. Particularly when you said "a secret understanding
to gain the upper hand,
conspiring to profit
whoever else be damned"
