Entrapment Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Defy to deny,
With opened eyes wide to recognize...
Solicited invitations dated to bait,
Entrapment.

Know it to be disguised,
To first introduce its criticizing ways.
Done to do by those who masquerade.
Those too deceiving to reveal true indentities.
For the purpose to offend someone believed,
Easily picked to pluck and get stuck...
To do nothing else but defend themselves,
Without knowing who it really is...
Using cloak and dagger tactics just to entrap,
Anyone unaware of it to get themselves snatched!
With an alluring that distracts yet attracts...
As practiced by those accustomed to using,
Mental acrobatics.

Defy to deny,
Solicited invitations dated to bait...
Entrapment.
Recognize it disguised,
To first introduce its criticizing ways.
Done to do by those who masquerade.
Those too deceiving to reveal true indentities.
With a hiding of insecurities,
Behind a variety of adorned and ever changing masks.

Refuse to accept becoming side tracked by such tasks.
Or allow being played by those who charade,
To leave those left emotionally bleeding
As they salivate on fed laughter and the feeding of ego!
