Con Artist

Hollow ground
Empty sound
Earthquake my roots.
Intrinsic
Puzzle prose,
To amuse
And confuse 
Selfish
Born abuser,
A written
Blank soul.

The Wailing Wall is standing tall
So men may bang their head and bawl
But burka girls
Must hide their curls
So no one can see their tears fall

Though Bible teachings caused him strife
He hoped someday
Someone would say,
"I now pronounce thee man and wife!"

Who knew how to lie and to con
When he said it was true
It was because HE told you
Everyone else is a fake and moron

Some children who would not be bossed
Since those who refused
Were raped and abused 
But the Pope had his fingers crossed

 Who insulted people without repent
 They thought  he was a novice
 When he ran for high office
   But  now they call him Mr. President!!

Gregory Siker was a fireworks technician.
He developed a show that won recognition.
One night he got confused
by the wiring he used.
Doc said he died of an ignition condition.

Move Up

Up your gears
Cheat your fears
Drown your doubts
And move up

Learn a trade
And how to trade
Be a master
In your game

Conceal your cards
Evade the darts
Be smart and wise
And score good

Air Con

He pointed throught the sunlight
From the kerb edge,
Fiddling with his fingers,
Looking rather silly
It has to be said.
"Turn your air conditioning on"
He bawled.
So slowly
I wound my window down.

Deep Fake Era

The Deep fake era is upon us 
?Every thing is fake these days?Everything is a fraud ?Prepare for the deep fake world 
Fakery, fraud, and falsehoods abound
All artfully done 
Killing the last shred of human decency left
Everything is a deep fake 
these days

Premium Member Con Carnage

Mere husks remain, unnaturally strewn, lying by the dozens on a red-soaked field. Once stoutly girded, masking fiery resolve underneath unassuming exteriors, naught but the faintest hints linger, sad siren calls to former greatness.

Who needs fiction when truth is so sweet? The COO's woes from Beyond Meat: enraged, he bit another’s nose, an incident that clearly shows a vegan diet is incomplete!

Premium Member La Seduction

Listen to poem:
I watched it all
from my backseat
rolling out
like a red carpet
the charm
the lies
the deceit
and she took it all in
every last drop of it
it was much
like watching
a trainwreck
in slow motion

Cupid's Con

My Cynthia gone,
Now dead to me.
Wondrous beauty –
Eyes of an Angel,
Heart of Gold.

She knew her power,
I let her.
Beginning of the end. 

Skydiving from the moon to 
Hades itself.
Impossible ecstasy,
Unfathomable loss.

The arrow dislodged
from her alone.
A pawn to her whims.
But I have a new goddess now,
And the spell is almost broken.

Con Game

Ambush of a lie
North wind does it lie?
Or south leeward it lay?
Where does it lie?

Mounting evidence lying east 
A peaking testament laying west 
Gusty lies besiege down the crest
Why do Liars conspire against the honest?

Truth grazed in the valley
Squally lies ruffled the prairie
A Liar lurking trapped veracity
Oh how Liars hunt for morality

I Know Your Sham-Rock Clovers
And Frilly Lacey Flower Hearts
All Tumble Out Of
Sweet Delusional 
Hall-Mark Dreams...

With Plastered Faces
         &
Screams Of Pleasure.

Raise A Glass.
Auld Lang Syne.

My Own Body Heat
Curled Up Under
A Rag Or Something,

 Warm At Last.

Chilly Con

Bitter, bitter, bitter
not as in a taste on tongue
or unrequited loves' remain,
only of wind thats wrung
all warmth from the air.

Bitter, bitter, bitter
all the way through to bone,
clenching chattering teeth,
and breath blown
on mittened hands.

Shine of sun to deceive
beckons one out of doors
brain has an idea of sun
that roars
away outside 
caught in bitter's bite.
