the conmen



The conmen looking for easy money
Preying on public sympathy on handicapped homes
Of children and adults who needed assistance
With flyers and laminated official letters

They do the rounds
In the food stalls in towns
Occasionally they will call on homes
Showing the receipt book telling you

The elderly will walk around
Eyes staring words to say
Telling you the hardship of the homes
Give your donation you save a soul

Sometimes children and secondary students
They are roped in to go the rounds
The donation drives for schools or charity
The fake ones to get the public sympathy

Sometimes vans will be cruising around
The group of young men will come calling
Telling you it is a legitimate donation
Here is the receipt to proof it is!

But you wonder why Johore plate and address
Come all the way to seek donations here
So far away from their home State
It tells of a con game for easy money

The public drive on donations
It is better to go direct to the organizations
Seek out the truth from the officials
Don't fall victim to the scam drive
