Haunted Without Excuses To Make

A trickster calculates,
With thoughtlessness to solicit and trick...
Anyone unaware they are victims of it,
To be teased into giving one like this sympathy.

With a careful picking of the ones chosen for this,
The trickster plays with emotions of others,
To gain an empathy with an attention to get.
And does.

But everything on Earth,
Is born with a consciousness.
And those who manipulate with self centeredness,
Are eventually exposed for their disturbing nonsense.

And those with tricks up their sleeves to deliver,
Become slaughtered by their own misdeeds that shivers.
To feel themselves haunted without excuses to make,
With a host of deformities eating with a keeping on their minds.
