No one should lie or cheat. It only brings pain to other people.

Did you get a rise?
Watching a girl buy her first car
All the while you knew
That in a matter of time the car would break down?

Did you give a damn?
Is all you wanted was a few
Extra dollars in your pocket?
That’s my guess

If you weren’t such a cheat…
And dare I say… Liar?
I wouldn’t be mad
I wouldn’t be wondering..

“How am I goin to pay for my car?”
Because of you
A new engine is all I need…
Because of your dishonest though
I will never know
How many miles, or any thing that has
Been wrong with my car….
For you, I hope, you get what you deserve

Nothing fancy
Nothing great
Nothing evil..
Okay…maybe something evil
I just hope you know
What comes around goes around

    Life is hard…but you’re right in “what goes around comes around”…

    I am sure that they will get what they deserve unless they already have!

    The cheaters are out there. You can watch out for them but you can’t always avoid them.

    Nice write! I pride myself on never lying or even think of cheating someone. It’s a shame there are too many people out there like that!
