Why?

Why must people play each other like a fool?
It certainly is not cool,
It is very cruel
And it turns this match into a duel

Why must people lie?
Is it so a loved one won't cry?

That's not very fair,
I'd rather it tear...
Me a part... most likely

Why must people cheat?
To me it makes them a creep,
That would make me jump in a jeep
And drive away
So I would not have to stay

Reviews

[Layla J Omorose]

It is a very good try at trying to rhyme however like another reviewer it feels forced at certain points. The third stanza could use a little rewording or find some way to connect it with the second stanza. I think if you come back to it and work at it you can expand the poem and convey a deeper meaning of WHY? But other then that it was a very good try and do not get discouraged. Just keep trying, and the more you practice the more the words will flow and the rhyme won't sound forced.

clever rhyme
there are so many reasons, intents and emotions behind the fools, the lies and the cheating....

I love this it is very heartfelt. People are unpredictable. Those who cheat have a problem with love. That is my perspective of it,

This has the distinct vibe of spoken word, which can really work in the right setting. It has an immediate striking quality that's fun and easy to read.

[Millie]

I really like it, although the rhyme in some places doesn't go

Great Write :)

[Sukriti Suki]

I like the idea here but I am finding the rhyme a bit forced at places..Maybe the format can be changed.

If what you are going for is a Hallmark card type of write then you are doing a good job.
