Deceit Poems - Poems about Deceit

Lights that glow darkly
I have been deceived all this while, By all the angels cloaked in a dear disguise. 'Follow the way of light, my child, ' they all cooed, For they knew too well I was never shrewd. Off I went, probing for those lights, Something to put an end to my wakeful nights. But manipulation, oh my dear, Sounds sweeter when it is...

Pet dog can't be our pet
Planting a seed of deceit to escape the blame, Even the blind could see the trick in that dance. Tangled deep in the web of truth-coloured falsehoods, Dodgy as a broken glass that reflects beauty. Only the trueness of its heart sees clear the truth~ Giving its forked tongue some time to rue its regret. Care nor love enough to make...

Pain Breeds Beauty
Speak your melodies and I'll dream of harmonies that will someday be befitting of your artistry Similarly Voice your euphony and I'll dream of poetry that will someday be worthy of your flattery, and lure you into rhapsody - pure ecstasy with each word that breathes between the pages from beneath those eyes that never cease to critique, and a breath that reeks of deceit and...

Shades of Deceit
If you hate me, say it to my face Don't lie or hide in a secret place I'd rather hear the truth, no matter the pain Than be surrounded by deceit and shame Bullies and liars, they tear me apart I'd rather cry alone, with a broken heart Than be with those who use and harass me And bring only darkness and...

bad legacies
You left 1884 behind, 1961 came you misused it 1972, you were doomed 1990, it seemed like joy but no 2016 your people smiled in their death see the homeless, fatherless, widows now bury their husbands, heads rolling in roads that are gutters People roasted like fish yet it never mattered to you, only drinks and women did See the troubles your children face, many bellies...

Premium Member FAKE NEWS FICTION
Galvanizing, never scrutinized; each moment falsely tabulated; Slanted, polarized polls, punishing spiteful pundits Spouting, spinning lies in frantic unison squawking Ridiculous versions of fear mongering tales, Meant to frighten, meant to hurt, Meant to clutch and pulverize power. It takes only a calm, rational thinking moment To see through the maze of their foggy logic. Nothing they say is fact checked or based...

Premium Member The Liar and The Fool
From golden rays the clouds are spun, But without warmth, the winter sun. Signing the sky with solemn swear, Casting its light to he who stares. Only sight can tell the sun is frozen, When light's love starts cursing the chosen. But a Fool doesn't see with open eyes, Only the break of dusk will turn him wise. After fire is lost and...

FADING LADY
She's a ****, she's not loyal. I told her; you're only good for sex, Not good to keep. Don't let your beauty, leave you in deceit You ain't getting younger, but older. I ask her about Her body counts. She said, Just thirty plus. Thirty plus, still not taken? You gotta change your mentality, Or remain a sex tool or sex partner forever. She's always...

In Love with Them
Like two flowers dancing in symphony with the wind that cradles their feelings they move about untouched. Unaffected by the wisdom, deceit and judgement of a world that is so opinionated. ...

Stolen Dreams - Not Unwell
In your eyes a spark still survives A place where your dreams flies With your hand, mind and heart Created a sweet that was art One fateful day you questioned the books To find honey mouthed partner a crook The trust your partner did swear to abide Was stealing your dreams, a grin did hide Heart heavy with sorrow, your trust torn apart The...

NATION OF STAMPEDES
Nature did not unleash her terror on us as it did with Noto, Haiti, or the Indian Ocean. We abuse nature with the stamp of leadership which impedes lives, causing artificial stampedes of hunger, worse than nature's disasters. Quakes of human stampedes everywhere! Ibadan free funfair stampede Okija and Abuja free rice distribution stampedes are only where the lens focused, away...
