Mountebank

Highly entertaining
Charlatan; painting
Manipulating, brewed
Tasty food so others can
Swallow, digest and process.

Deals and wheels
With their golden tongue
Of sweet sugar and honey,
A thief. 
A confidence trickster
In order to obtain and kidnap your mind,
Money, power, fame,
Through pretense or deception.
Leads not knowing north or south
East or west, day or night, but deceiving
People with polished words their believing.
As long as they paint a story vision, they drew
Those that listen, in their mind it's true.

Dear Eve, I loved how your poem delves into the intricate dance of deception and allure showing the manipulative charlatan. Your reflection on the thief of minds, money, and dreams is both cautionary and insightful. What a powerful reminder to trust not in the allure of tales spun, but in the authenticity of actions and intentions. - Blessings, Daniel

An excellent portrait of a mountebank. Money is their god. We must beware of them. Best for a win. Hugs xx
