Stop a moment ponder a while
Before you take that gullible mile
The world wears a silken garb
So smooth it has no barb
The soft spoken with a smiling face
Of deceit there is no trace
The gullible innocent fall a prey
To the hidden bombs stored away
All’s fine they simple say
The green eyed monster makes its way
Nothing is fine anywhere
There’s sadness misery everywhere
The camouflage plays its mighty role
The make belief takes its toll
Stop a moment ponder a while
Before you talk that gullible mile

Sometimes I have been taken for a ride and what a waste of time..
