April Fools! Would you please comment?

Can a lie become truth

If I try to show proof

To convince that what I said is right?

When you choose what you believe

 Is it a ruse, the web I weave

 Or do the facts reveal events in plain sight?

Can I manipulate the view

Articulate and spew

To make your mind betray your heart?

Passionate and clear

I'll play upon your fear

Until your doubt simply breaks you apart.

I will tickle and tease

Your insecurities

Until you lean upon me as your friend,

And with your heart in my hand

I will tell you where you stand

My lies will be your truth in the end.

••••••••••••••

If you follow your heart in the mire

Stay true when your love's under fire

Have faith and live by the golden rule,

Learn to laugh at your mistakes

You may have what it takes

To avoid becoming April's fool. 

Update:

Zomby: I agree

LadyR: I disagree

Kami- :-p

HH: ...thank you sir

Gio: I'm glad you enjoyed (my name's not JC, shhhh)

Update 2:

Susanna: I am a fool eternally, it's the wisest of fools I hope to be...

Cheesy: Gesundheit!! lol

    I have always been a fool and I don't care. I also have always heard that God protects fools and the feeble-minded. (I don't think that is a current term in use lol.)

    Now when you say you are not a poet I am going to laugh at your false modesty - because this is a fine piece of work!

    What do I risk when I come here?

    My future, my pride, my identity?

    Would I board the train, would I dare

    If I earnestly knew the fee?

    So I buy the magic beans

    and dodge the staplers

    Money is on the do-ers

    But here we're all talkers.

    Good Poem.

    JC: You have become the playful spirit of April fool's day. Elegant, smarty - dart-y and kindness-y (my word). A very appropriate poem. (Where is the lie?)
