Unknowing Assistance

Looking around, trying to hide
    wanting to be seen,
acting dumb, nothing known,
    my senses stay so keen.

                                                    No, we've never met
                                                         can't remember if we had
                                                    contacts that know me
                                                         think of me as bad.

Sometimes speak the truth
     most of the time I lie
nighttime keeps me busy
     best time to spy.

                                                    Sleep in alleys, meet on jets
                                                        hide in hotel rooms
                                                    cut my hair, grow a beard
                                                        different identities I assume.

Slowly gaining trust
      been called a best friend
not knowing when finished
      never see me again.

                                                     Bragged that I'm wealthy
                                                       or world's greatest lover
                                                     yes, there's lots of perks
                                                       working undercover.

Searching for answers
    wishing knew the questions
learning who strayed the path
   teaching them a lesson.

                                                    Looking for missing money
                                                        jewelry that's turned hot
                                                    trying to assist you
                                                        keeping what you got.

No matter what asked to do
    never say can't
that's the reason I'm called 
    The World's Greatest Plant.
