YOU FOOL May 8/85 Karl Rigelhof

If comes as no surprise
When you realize
It's so absurd
The words you've heard
Were only lies

It's not much of a shock
You say it's only talk
And it's cheap
The time you keep
Ticks off the clock

It's no big deal
Tell us how it feels
To be taken
Now you're mistaken
It was a steal

It's such a lovely treat
The bait was so sweet
But now you're caught
We're you not taught
To turn deceit

Deception
It's a reflection
On yourself

Perception
Of the conception
By yourself

Distraction
From this reaction
In yourself

Attraction
To the contraption
Of yourself

You're only fooling yourself
And no-one else
You fool
