SNAKES

I've been with snakes that act as friends,
Haters in cold blood keeping up their trends,
Deceptive in their ways to fool humble souls,
Unrepentant to keep hating on every winning souls.

I know a snake that hiss a lot,
So intrusive without ever keeping shut,
Nothing goes around without its notice,
Always hiding behind the concept of always making peace.

There lies the hypocrites in their strides,
True to your face while praying for your slides,
Ready to damage your mindset on whatever interests you,
Rushing behind your back to still acquire for themselves that which once interests you.

The low profiles are the worst of them all,
Appearing short while they're actually tall,
Orchestrating your demise without your knowledge,
Waiting patiently for the right time to knock you off the edge.
