Tricks and Lies and Such

Poem Commentary

Seems like everyone has you opinion but you until it comes time to turn out the light. When the lie about you comes from you, who are you going to believe?

Tricks and Lies and Such

 Create a story to make me do
Things I know can't, but could or should be true.
All it takes is a lie from me to see what should be, you see?
A lie, a trick, all for the betterment of me.
Truth is too easy a loss to lose to make me better,
No, but for it come in the form of a letter.
May not be my first choice or even my desire,
But the dreams, oh the dreams, my dreams when I retire.
Lie to me, lie to me, make it seem I need
What my common sense tells me, this I do not heed.
Take my money, my life, take whatever you need
What's left to survive is all I need for the deed.
Hey, free is not an option when I can pay
Or just give, give, give it all away.
This life is mine to waste if I must
Before I can learn it's me to trust.
Keep your tricks and lies and such
Listening will provide me with just as much.

This reads alot like a piece of music, which is what good poetry should read like. At the same time your content and message is clear by the end and the journey you took the reader on in the meantime is great. Also your rhyme and repetition are on the level of poetry greats! Thanks for posting.

Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
