Distraction Defrauding

Distraction used for trickery

Distraction is expensive,

It cost us many lives,

Silly folk who didn't check

Trusting strangers' lies.

Reacting without thinking

All common sense has flown

Carefully exclaiming that the fault was not

Their own.

I know the intention

Only slipped their mind

Now it's time to go, another path to find.
