Cheating

There are two common kinds,
It seems they are stored in our minds.
All of us cheat,
We always like to repeat.

Students cheat during tests,
Poor teachers consistently protest.
Sadly, we never learn,
Good scores we earn.

We shouldn't tolerate,
We absolutely cooperate.
We know it's bad,
Sometimes, we don't feel glad.

We cheat on our boyfriends/girlfriends,
We think we have numerous friends.
So why stick to one?
Give love to others and be done.

We all know it's a wicked thing to do,
We should choose one and let the other go.
Karma does bite real hard,
At the end, one feels like a retard.

Why is cheating unavoidable?
We are weak, it's uncontrollable.
Why do we end up hurting?
We aren't strong enough to stop cheating.

Temptations are always there waiting,
We must avoid and stop entertaining.
It can wreak havoc relationships in no time,
Regret is always at the end, we are the one to blame.
