Sense Sonnet - Acher

Fools Forever

Early Americans got scammed,
Like by Anna, the "sister" of
Jesus, who devoutly flimflammed
The City of Brotherly Love
Folks, by assuring them, if paid
She'd put in the good word upstairs
For space in heaven to be made.
Many fell for her get saved snares.
Odds are, in Philly to this day
Imposters like Anna do biz,
Taking the gold and hopes away
From fools. That's just the way it is.

Ever a sucker for the con,
The "sister" of Jesus lives on.
