Conned Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

We have allowed a con to go on.
With hopes a duping will uncover the truth.
We have allowed a con to go on.
To find the humor in it to be produced.
We have allowed a con to go on.

Even in the middle to be tagged!
We stay pro-active to be captured by the act.
Even in the middle to be had.
We perceive that we can dodge it all.
Only to be stricken by a ball to fall.

Hoodwinked, deceived AND prepared to bleed.
Only to be stricken by a ball to fall.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND prepared to bleed.
We perceive that we can dodge it all.

We love it when we have been conned!
We stay pro-active to be captured by the act.
With a staying in the middle to be tagged.
Staying in the middle to be had!
Hoodwinked, deceived AND prepared to bleed.
Only to be stricken by a ball to fall.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND prepared to bleed.
We perceive that we can dodge it all.

Conned with condoning that continues on.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND loving to bleed.
Conned with condoning that continues on.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND with a loving to bleed.
Conned with condoning that continues on.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND loving to bleed.
Conned with condoning that continues on.
Hoodwinked, deceived AND with a love to bleed.
Conned with condoning that continues on.
Conned with condoning that continues on.
