Snakes of All Shapes
Snakes of all shapes
Snakes lie and wait in the grass,
Along the floor or high in the tree they creep but the bite lasts,
One wrong step the venom is the king of killers,
They can strike with hardly a tap or any triggers,
They live among us metaphorically and in reality,
Regardless the repercussions result in near fatality,
They blend into your life destined to cause strife,
Dont be fooled by such a shapeshifter in your life,
Soon you'll see the treachery gone are the niceties,
Now it's crystal clear all the sly faulsities,
But it's to late you've been bitten by the narcasitic tendencies,
Normality is no match to conquer such insanity,
Its sneaky and you've brought in to the lies and fantasies,
They no the tricks of the trade with ease they camouflage in,
Professionals playing a damsel denying and acquit,
They spit there venom to kill everyone and thing,
Twisting and turning leaving a permanent sting,
They sliter slow and calculated across the floor,
They are hidden from the naked eye until they strike,
They blissfully blend in fooling you to let them in,
They will crush and constrict just on a whim,
Leaving permenant scars outside and within.
