my trust was lost
in a plate of salad bowl
so tasty and crispy
i swallowed
i drained it
in my gut
a few hours later
my stomach
begun to churn
started to burn
to the toilet bowl
i ran
to vomit
to throw up
to puke
there is salmonella
lurking in those greens
there are germs
making me sick to
my stomach it hurts
yes, i was a fool
to believe and trust
yes, i was a fool
caught in a fraud
my grandpa loved
to dream of
bigger things
bigger lands
bigger forests
bigger pots
one day he signed
a paper note
out to the land
of promise he goes
after selling all the
properties he and
my grandma owned
but to his shock
and disbelief
he was just bilked
deceived, used
and tricked
yes, he was a fool
to believe and trust
yes, he was a fool
caught in a fraud
in the cyber world
of the so called Internet
we learned that people
are being victimized
in minutes, in hours
and even in years
yes, they were a fool
to believe and trust
yes, they were a fool
caught in a fraud
just like me in that
sweet tasting salad bowl
just like you in these
sweet talking joker's so wild
just like my grandpa
with these sweet nothings
schemes concocted
to burn you
to toast you
kicking and alive
my dear friends
sweet colleagues
be careful
be mindful
to seek for the truth
to ask its proof
before you
make deals
of any kind
that might only
run you off
be careful playing
with a joker so wild
be careful playing
with a heartless fraud...
isn't it so sad that we ran into frauds, jokers and the likes in our lives? can we be fooled and be played with all the time?
the greatest president in American history, Abraham Lincoln, uttered one of the finest sayings about human nature ever expressed: "You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all of the people all the time."
so there we go... and we need not forget that we can never fool God... but that is a given, we all know that :)
