Hostile

Here we go again
Smiles exchanged in vain


See that silly grin
To lose is to win


Round and round trade blows
Settling scores that show


Each smile a prompt stab
To puncture odd flab


Crafty with shrewd stance
Burst of deadly dance


If only you knew
How sad matters brew


Two rivals at war
Sharp talons can claw


Deadly serpents slide
Sharp betrayal glides


Yes spy versus spy
Fatal moments ply
