Friendship built on sand

thought i'd stand by you
while you lied and cheated

you thought i'd watch
and help along the way

well you thought wrong
i want no part of it

Married Life

In the beginning, he was a dream,  
A perfect blend, or so it seemed.  
With every wish, he’d swoop and save,  
A knight in shining armor, oh so brave.  

“Where have you been?” I’d sigh and swoon,  
As he’d conjure up my heart’s cartoon.  
A band-aid for a paper

So it's come to this

It's right out in the open for everyone to see ~

puppets bought and paid for
dancers strung and played
delusional parrots with microphones
hostages read the demands of a madman
while maintaining somewhat of a poker face

It's never been so obvious : integrity has its price.

Honest Politician Is A Semi-Oxymoron

Honest salesman is a semi-oxymoron
Just like an honest politician
Please do not laugh, all lawyers or
Accountants are not crooks. When the door
Is wide open a mouse, a rat, a cockroach
Would me more than happy to approach
Some politicians have tried to be better
And more credible. Some are men/women of honor
However, others are pathological liars
They are professionals who

Another Imitation

Around around around iwe igo

the ability to see patterns and queues
who do you think you really fool?
other than old farmers who do not care
his chickens cluck as much as you click
ai ai woah
ai ai No!

Huckle Bearer

Anxious to be my Huckle bearer
Of my last breath wishful ensnarer 
Anxious for my ultimate demise
So to my earthly trappings burglarize 
Dishonest wife stealing philanderer

Dishonest Democrat Denial

Willful blindness, yes.
Despite all the evidence. 
Irrefutable!

Pseudonymic Poet

~~~~
      The lying poets have you sucked in!
      As many already have pseudonyms~
      Perhaps, they imbibe too much gin?

      And, oh, you so sweet innocents…
      Sucked in by a false

Gossip

They grin and sneer, then turn away quickly
Following their lead, my heart slowly recedes
Never without their tales, some quite sickly

They listen to many stories, gossiping thickly
Spirits winking at the darkest of the proceeds
They grin and sneer, then turn away quickly

They pretend to be a friend, flattering thickly
Welcoming others, hoping their lie succeeds
Never without their tales,

Cravings of a Venomous Toxin

The cunningness I feel is near:
It tries coming for a stay
Living within a beast, I once lived in
It's a bit dangerous wanting my play.

I have to be careful, now, right:
Staying in the right of my light
By this, odious toxin that's near
It likes to fight at my nights, I fear.

It made me sick a lot of

But a Game

Love is but a game of false dice, sweet lies and oaths 
to tame pretty rebels for astute, overmastering gentlemen
- harsh, dishonest and less in love, who loan affection with interest 
and measure passion like coin recompense.

Lies Fit Persons Who Are Dishonest

Lies fit person s who are dishonest,
let them not be your vain quest
or that reason for quick conquest;
envy is so evil and causes unrest!

Telling an untruth is blunt, 
it's hammering hardwood with tiny nails;
have you come face to face with liars
and been deceived by what they said?
Telling lies is an attribute to dishonesty,
to get full

All For Greed

shoplifting a speck of gold ~
the weight of a man

Greed

greed is the ugliest of sins
robbing the poor
to line one’s pockets
knocking people to their knees
reducing them to begging
while they are asked to wait patiently
for what is due them
how dare they make them wait
it’s all one huge conspiracy
how can you sleep at night
have you no conscience
can you really just pretend
that delay is without consequence
how much do

Hidden

hidden agenda
an ulterior motive
game she likes to play
