Fool Me Once


You fool me once...
your shame I'll overrule.
A second time...
and I become the fool.
But not for long,
for you will learn my rule
as I reveal
your hidden side of cruel,
and label you
with ethics deemed uncool
to be the butt 
of major ridicule.

Brilliant verse my friend. Truth should ever be in the light for all to see, That this dark world more often than not hides it is a travesty and a curse,. Definitely a fav and a pleasure to read..
