Illusionist

Abracadabra mumbo jumbo this magician goes

Citizens mesmerized, follow him on their toes.

Packages offered magical and plenty

Open sesame one finds it is all empty.

Packaged remedy or malady, in spite of many dose.

Poor, yet again in a limbo, in life continue the woes.

Self-reliance, his new slogan, with it he goes

His magic he does under everyone’s nose. 

The magician, his job done ready for the pose.
