Magnetic,
Tall, confident with mesmerising blue eyes,
An incredibly, wealthy merchant banker,
He seduced women with his women with his web of lies.
A strategic manipulator,
Encouraging many to invest in lucrative schemes and plans,
The life and soul of any party,
His legendary charm won him many fans.
Over time, money would disappear,
Investments of clients plummeted to an all - time low,
Meetings with the merchant banker became infrequent,
At events he hardly would show.
Soon he ceased to exist,
He became untraceable no one knew his real name,
People’s lives were destroyed financially,
Embarrassed by their own stupidity and filled with shame.
The hunt is on for the conman,
Wherever next will he strike and attack?
People search for him frantically throughout the globe,
Defiant, the conman assumes another identity – beware everyone he’s back!

- Comment from author about the poem: Mark Acklom, one of the UK's most wanted conman was arrested in Switzerland recently. He went around posing as an MI6 spy. Here are my thoughts. What motivates certain people to live their lives based on a web of deceit?

A fine write Fine. It's difficult for them in a way. But not to condone it. They start off the deceit, then have to continue it, keep on with it, with the lies and fraud, etc.
Maybe it's trying to get-one-up on others. But they are never being their real selves, and it all comes crashing down in the end - we hope!
Hello Orchidee,
Thanks for reading.
You are right
.
It must be frustrating living your life based on lies and it must eat you up inside leading to your self destruction.

In one way it is very clever to be able to remember all the lies that you have told to achieve this deceit but eventually all will get caught. I wish they would catch the politicians as well with all the decit they disperse.
Very good write FineB.
