Deception



I learned of the things that can be tried forever with no head way
I got hoodwinked by the modicum of successes that came by the easiest of ways
Trying to scale the next step has never been a success except the close of miss
This assures my ignorance of truth

Lots of opportunities by sight but I shot between the targets
Thus I learnt that lots of birds at one time meant nothing in the bag
Yet I saw more than one in the bag because they were so close to the mouth
Alas! They have all flown away because my eyes did not catch them
