Sini vs. Revolution

[Lindel]

There once was a man of creative genius with rhymes
but who couldn’t have acted more of a diva online!
He competed in writing contests against the elitists
beating them by his sheer will, and occasional cheating.
His swaying in secret would often hand him the edge
but today was to be his toughest challenger yet.
A spectacular semi-showdown of paradoxical rivals
where two valiant veterans vied for a spot in the final!
Both wanted the title, but what mattered now was respect
and the honour of finally being crowned as the best.
Losing was out of the question with the battle finally open
he proudly professed his greatness to antagonise his opponent.
The braggart blithely then boasted of self-centred indulgence
in an act to try and provoke his foe into an error of judgement.
The clever curmudgeon created an air of discord
while also tempting its subject into sharing his thoughts.
Aware that the author played chess, if to dismal degrees,
his carefully thought-out plan had a Bobby Fischer brilliancy!
The player positioned the pieces to fall into place
his opposition was merely a pawn to his game.
The board that they played on was no longer even
which forced the mistake exposing his weakness.
From the moment he eagerly jumped in and posted
the opponent was beaten, he just didn’t know it!
The troublesome troll instantly dipped in his bag of tricks
and put into motion one of his famed fictional narratives.
The tittering tattersmith sent messages privately to
the simpleton that was in charge, who took his lies as the truth!
He invited the fury of his foe to further respond
while timing his spurious comments to keep spurring him on.
He worked at it long into the night, through to light of the morning,
as the merciful moderator looked into both sides of the story.
Enlightened but surely unimpressed at the tantrum observed
the mod tried not to glorify eithers actions at first.
Reading chapter and verse of the rule book to placate the dispute
as you don’t take a man at his word who has a way with them too!
The prevaricator pursued his prey with ruthless intent
anticipating his move while remaining a few steps ahead.
The beauty of chess lies in the strategical thinking.
His huge walls of text loomed large enough to be seen at a distance
but were easily missed in the blind rage his novice was faced with
and not seeing his signature move lead to disqualification!
The troll had him taken in every which way
but the mod had been blamed for exhibiting feminine traits.
Now two men that he hated most were caught in conjuncture
both incandescent with rage, and best of all at each other!
Neither saw through his cover til he revealed what had happened
nor the tall stories mustered up to help keep them distracted.
The tedious tactician did as his detractors dared him to do
If you stare deep in an abyss too long, it also stares into you.
There is a truth to the story behind his bluff and his bluster,
Beware who you choose to cheat. Never judge a book by its cover.
