She'll never trust him

even with a rock she found on the street.

Yet others flock him, bow to his feet

Hand him their valuables,

their lives.

Beware of him! She cries

How can't they see the forked tongue,

moving as he speaks?

Or the hissing sound each time

he finishes a word.

He's a snake in disguise,

but they are too blind to see.
