Joseph May Poet Quatern

Behind the Scenes

Some things are never as they seem
 Perfection has imperfect schemes
 We often think the things we see
 Are really what they look  to be

 Perhaps it's an elusive dream
 Some things are never as they seem
  The things you never thought were true
  Will shock you when revealed to you
 
 A con man, with bible in hand
 May be the  preacher on the stand
 Some things are never as they seem
 Quiet storms may have deadly themes

 A pretty smile will hide the tears
 Of abuse, suffered through the years
 A nightmare that becomes a dream
 Some things are never as they seem
                       ~~~

Andrea Dietrich January 27, 2016 at 8:22 PM so true, so true. Just the other day saw a show about a preacher who ended up being a child's murderer. Great repeating line.
