False Reflection

Have you ever been fooled By the moon in still waters? Mistaken for real, How do you tell real from an imposter? If I stir the image of the moon, Will the ripples ensue chaos? And cause nagging fish To surface from the bottom? Tepid waters preferred Among the timid hearted. So watch for insecurities In the steam of hot water. I say, how do you catch an imposter off guard? Planned warfare, I stir emotions like a guerilla at large. Set fire to the grass And watch the snakes slither abroad. I demand my respect like my title is Sarge. You don't even love you, I don't need you to like me. They're quick to say friend But my foes make better company. How do you tell a friend from an enemy? Stir the false reflection To find loyalty or insecurity.
