SUBLIMINAL INSIGHT

Smirking with his shadowed grin
A cheshire smile derived from sin
Leads us to where this tale unfolds...
   Behold....
      Ahead....
A lamp of gold!

Once embedded beneath the sand
Alas....Now unleashed
A sinister man.

His greed for lust
   Agreed...
      Indeed...
Destined to win
Bound to succeed
Thus the djinn...within...
Would grant his needs

Evil wishes delivered
As this man spent no time wasted
Fortune....Love.....and.....Luxuries
Were upon his tongue..
Now tasted.

Exalted in all three
Happy as can be
The man then walked away
And the genies head...
Shook and bled
In total dissarray

He could not believe
How the man could leave
As granting wishes was HIS curse.
But this devilish man....
Also a genie with plans
Had sent everything into reverse

From the lamp...He returned
And from sin...Fortunes earned
As two evils can never make right
Their lessons unlearnt
Once again both are burnt
Unaware of subliminal insight.
