You Can Fool Them Poem by Naida Nepascua Supnet

You Can Fool Them

Rating: 5.0


I hope you listen out
You can lie all you want
Wear your mask one by one
But the truth you can't run

Though you look fine to them
They believe so they seem
With our eyes you can't hide
For we know your true side

You were good once before
Why the change why so cruel
You became a boastful thing
And one heartless being

Though you can fool them nice
Don't forget we've keen eyes
We adore you more before
We miss doing that chore

hi again naida, i have finished editing/offering suggestions as per your request. again, thanks for sharing. bri Though you look fine to them....[this is ok with me.] They believe so they seem...THEY SEEM TO BELIEVE SO or, THEY BELIEVE, SO THEY SEEM...[i added a comma] With our eyes you can't hide.....FROM OUR EYES YOU CAN'T HIDE For we know your true side.....[i like this.] You were good once before...[i like it] Why the change why so cruel....WHY THE CHANGE? WHY SO CRUEL? or WHY THE CHANGE, WHY SO CRUEL? [i just noticed you used NO punctuation in this poem. i wonder if you don't use punctuation in any poem. it is a unique (to me) style which may set your work apart from most works, but it could cause some problems for readers.] You became a boastful thing....[this is good] And one heartless being...[i like this also][what a horrible man! oops! or woman! or dog! or cat! or? ! ; i guess a being doesn't have to be a human being.] Though you can fool them nice....THOUGH YOU CAN FOOL THEM NICELY. Don't forget we've keen eyes...good! We adore you more before...WE ADORED YOU BEFORE [i left our more since i don't think there is any room for adoration now! ] We miss doing that chore...WE MISS THE WAY YOU WERE or NOW, YOU, WE ABHOR....[chore makes a good rhyme with before BUT i don't think of adoring someone/something as being a chore.]
