Weekly Poetry Challenge four

the art of the con

the art of the con

in the U.S,
and around the world
there are con artists
who have perfected
the ancient art of the con
among the most proficient
con artists of our time.

are George Santos
who was kicked out
of Congress
because even those corrupt politicos
found he had gone too far
with his constant cons
and they are tired
of his con games.

and the former guy
is still conning millions of people
proving that the “art of the deal”
was just another part
of his lifetime of being
the ultimate con artist
of the modern era.
