Emotionally naïve dreamers (like I) don't win.
Manipulated by cold, masterful deceivers,
Betrayed by close friends, allies, even by their own kin!
A pox on all schemers, scammers, tricksters, and fraudsters!
Rely never on their pie-in-the sky promises;
Rid your mind of high hopes--like living in luxury,
Acquiring sudden riches thru high-pressure pitches,
Since more often than not you end up in beggary.
Surprise that phisser with delay, not wishing to play...
Make some more excuses and in the end NEVER pay!
Eventually that con-man gives up and goes away...
No use toying with me, I've lost my naivete.
Thrice stung in the past, I think now I'm wiser today.
