False confidence
The Suit

The suit, a symbol of power and might,
Deceives men with recognition's fleeting light.
A parasite in charade, it wears,
A frightening shadow cast, with hidden snares.

Sworn to pose abilities, lending might,
To the wicked, self-empowerment's false light.
Known to be the most powerful illusionist,
Granting men's desires, with a wizard's twist.

With soothing words, spoken smooth and sweet,
It masks its true self, a deceitful treat.
A drug that manipulates, with daily dose,
Keeping its hosts tame, with a subtle pose.

Driven by desire, to see no equal stand,
It artifices dignity, with a cunning hand.
