A Victim Of Deception

The story of his life a sad story to tell He is one who does live in his Earthly Hell Homeless in his sixties in dire poverty Perhaps his existence is his life's destiny? Robbed of his life's savings by a crook in disguise 'Tis easy in hindsight for one to be wise For trust such a price he has been made to pay In our dealings with others it is sometimes this way He has been a victim of one who lives by crime But what has happened to him has happened to others many a time Of our dealings with strangers we ought to be aware Since crooks in disguise are not or have never been rare A homeless poor bloke in the poor side of town So few wants to know of you when you are down.
