Deception

A world where 
Reading between lines
Is a child’s play.
To have it all
Just can’t be a winner 
But a grandmaster.

Extreme

 Lost within deception, retorted intent, ending among the granite saddened with conscience stricken decent

Hypocrisy:
The gates of deception
Leading

Hidden yet rugged
At the bottom of the world 
Cool water flowing
High above Hell’s barren gates
High above ringed deception

Deception comes richly,
new lies in its purse

Old wolves on the mountaintop
—Gideon’s curse

Aftermath

The first touch of night
Marks the eastern horizon
I've spent the whole day
Trying not to remember
The skill of your deception

A Story

A story
Of love
Begins with an end
Deception
Lies
Even words…
Cannot mend
What’s done
Is done
You can no longer
Look back

        is granted a daily reception

The Enchantress of Deception

By Imran Ahmed

The dust clings to her skin
a stain not easily erased.
She holds
a master’s degree
in the art of deception.

Music of deception plays loud
Mask flips on the faces of crowd
In sly chameleon celebration 
I dance with me in seclusion.

The tricks that reside up a sleeve
Surgery plastic

Deception men want to believe

Thinking second hand thoughts
Battles second hand fought 
Testaments rooted in foundational rot

Columbus despised local folk
Like Trump, he fibbed as he spoke
But truth be told
He wanted their gold
And you know that man ended up broke
