Game of Con

Legacy left behind,
For all to find,
Hide it quick,
Take a perfect pic,
Deceive everyone,
Where as bright as the sun,
As rich as a mine,
Our clothes are fine,
Heaps of jewels,
We fooled those fools,
Close the curtain,
We will never win,
When its closed, only open,
Ten out of ten,
For acting today,
Now go and play,
Wine glass out,
Children doubt,
They can't keep it up,
They're a leaky cup,
Someone will notice and report,
Then they would be caught,
So, curtain open, smiles on,
Curtain closed, finished game of con.
