Nicole Sharon Brown Poet Rhyme

Cheaters Never Win

The east side of the river

I truly defend

The west side of the river

Had a fake rule

Used sad tactics and tools

To the west side of the river

Bend on your knees

And pray this may be

The last trip southeast

Because your tactics are weak

And belongs to the one who

Lives many feet beneath

The east side of the river

Has much talent that

You believe can be bought

This was given by the big guy

And both sides of the river

He defends for right

That is quite why you lost tonight

The east side of the river

I truly defend.

This is a cliche'

And I will say it today,

And smile and wave,

Cheaters never win!
