The Snake

THE SNAKE A Poem by Debbie_Philly " This was a Metaphor for a person that i was dealing with at the time !! " The Snake The snake is cunning, resourceful and sharp looking for it's prey with ever watchful eyes. Slithering undetected on its belly yet always defensive knowing that in its low position getting stepped on by unknowing feet is a given making it the willing target of pity. Although no one wants to step on the snake it does not believe this making the venom it quietly spits that more deadly. Laying low eyes darting , scheming waiting and convincing for its charms are unmatched. Holding steadfast to its high position among the unsuspecting. The snake can trick the smartest of men with its forked tongue spitting countlessssss lies. You may think the snake is unattractive and slimy but you would be wrong, its glistening skin and piercing eyes will fool the most notable scholars . Somehow we always end up feeling sorry for the snake its sad eyes and carefree the devil made me do it gets this loathsome creature out of trouble every time. Forever shedding its friends like skin is what brings this creature to life happier with each new worshiping prey. Never being held accountable for its actions or words yet being held high for its actions and words. If you listen long enough you will begin to believe the countless lies of the snake, the endless promises and sweet nothings that drip from its fangs. Trapped and disillusioned you become as it takes your honor, common sense and questionable sanity down into the dark blinding dirt. So take heed boys and girls before you believe all you are fed, listen closely and intently so as not to become the next victim of the SNAKE !!!! By: Deborah Mills Kelly
