Deal

We had a deal
And I cooperated with zeal;
Thinking it was real.

You gave me no dime,
Yet you stole my precious time;
This I read like a rhyme

Or even if you paid me,
That was little, very little;
I could not with it fill my tea kettle.

I gave you trust and loyalty
But you gave me distrust and disloyalty;
My commitment you rewarded out of inequity.

At heart I held you as myself
But you treated me like your chef
Meats stewed in a greedy pot while you did jeff. 

Why then did we have the deal,
When to have everything is your meal,
That I struggle today because of your selfish will?

Disappointed!
I wish to be anointed
To discern deals flouted.
