The Game of Trickery

Have you met trickery?
Or ever shaken it's hand?
Maybe you met thru faces of a so-call friend.

Were you acquainted long?
Or did you quickly move on?
Maybe you try too hard,
For a place in which to belong.

Maybe you realized harm laid in-store...
And wisely kept trickery from entering your door.

If a wise man you were not,
No less of a person you should feel,
For trickery lives in many wide open fields.
