Deal Killer and Broken Promises

Deals are made a thousand times a day Only a tenth of them are kept You promise once, you forget once And pretty soon the deal means nothing Deals are overrated, they say Nobody can keep a promise these days In saying one thing, they mean another When you said one thing, I didn't expect the other But after shaking my hand, you turned around And that little spark of a deal we made Was shot not once, but a thousand times As many times as there are deals in a day Deals are overrated, they say I found the truth of that today

Thankfully there are still people who mean what they say. Hopefully you will make a deal with one of them. I enjoyed this piece.

Juli-Michelle...it would be a good day when someone actually keeps their promise. I'm with Drake, this is imaginative. A wonderful entry. Happy Holidays, Gwendolen

This was awesome. There is a touch of vagueness here, but in a very good way. Leaves much to the imagination.
