Deceivers can live anywhere
In all their dealings are unfair
And how to spot such goings on?
You might not know until they're gone
But lessons learned from such as these
Are countless as their many fees
A price they have for every act
We know with whom they've made their pact
Yet tragic will it be, you know
If these unruly souls will sow
The doubt which stops us moving far
And fades from view the brightest star
Keep fixed then on the final goal
Not all will help your struggling soul
But some, for sure, will move things fast
Once all deceivers' lies have passed
