Fakers and Takers

[Sue J Love]

They wink their eyes, with fingers crossed,
They lie, if truth be told,
They fake their looks, for they are crooks,
And they are very bold.

They do not shy from telling lies,
Tis nature to them, yes,
They’ve done this now for quite some time,
But why? Can you now guess?

They’re hiding truth, they are uncouth,
They want you not to know
That their performances do rate
As quite a great big show.

Their secrets they keep hid from you
And masquerade, they will,
For they do not want you to know
What happens up the hill.

They play the game, they’re not the same
As they will represent,
They hope that you will buy the truth
They quickly now invent.

They want to keep you on your toes,
Unbalanced so to fall.
For watching you believe in them,
To them is just a ball.

They’re hypocrites who play their tricks,
To catch you in their net.
They’re hoping with their fortitude
That you will get upset.

So do not fall into their traps,
Call out to God for help.
Resist their “playful” interludes,
And all the lies do pelt.
