Destitution

Trick someone for fun,
And be called childish.
Scam someone for money,
And you're a businessman.
In a world like that,
Evil is embraced fully,
But hidden carefully.
Oh, how they lie.
I thought the truth hurt,
But look at this place.
Backstabbing is an art now,
Rather than a felony.
In fact, it is literally a job.
And it pays well.
However, it doesn't pay the weak.
The foolish and oblivious.
Suddenly, we're all deprived.
An eye for an eye, right?
