The Deceiver

Coward!
Did you really believe
you would get away with this?
You deceived people who
had known you all your life.
(Or had they?)
You ripped off a widow
to the tune of
several thousand dollars.
You employed your cunning,
saying ever so innocently,
"I couldn't find a job today."
All the while
cleaning your fishing gear.
You think you won the game
and that others lost.
Your loveless heart refuses
to see what a
miserable bastard
you have become.
