Sly One
Sly smile can bite like vicious fangs,
Too late to cite the bloody bang.
Deceit can lurk in gentle touch,
In one swift jerk near-death floods much.
Trust not the words that frame a lie,
Too late the hurts in fatal sighs.
Dare to see through the rogue that hides,
It's up to you to know dense pride.
Look beyond books to find the truth,
See that you look to factual proof.
In guise of good evil men slay,
Fodder and food lamb chops scream play.
The sly one comes with crafty craft,
As if to sum the vile harsh stuff.
