He tells everyone of his successful life <br />But he never tells of how he bashes his wife <br />Or beats his two children to them he is cruel <br />The family home by fear he does rule. <br /> <br />A respected man in the Community <br />But in his public face not the real one you see <br />He does look so gentle but looks can deceive <br />And of the cruel side to him few do wish to believe. <br /> <br />To his nearest and dearest little respect he show <br />He is not the nice person that we think we know <br />His public image is a boost to his pride <br />But to him one can say there's a far darker side. <br /> <br />To her best female friend his lovely wife did say <br />That he will return home from work one day <br />But she and the children they will not be there <br />They will have gone for to start a new life elsewhere. <br /> <br />That one cannot judge the book by the cover never truer words said <br />For to asses it's value it's contents must be read <br />And he is not the one i made him out to be <br />But he has fooled many and not alone me.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/he-has-fooled-many/
