I Shoulda Seen It Comin'

I shoulda seen it coming 
like a blazing surge of lightning, 
before it took bite of my name 
with a deafening defame. 

The trickery of friendship 
is like a sinking ship,
where you're left in your sleep 
to plunge into the deep. 

The color of money 
is as blurring as a golden honey.  
Even the bonds of consanguinity 
could give in to its monstrosity. 

Like a lurking veiled blade
is the slit of its tirade. 
In the midst of nocturniy 
you'd be robbed of your serenity. 

My wisdom of the unknown 
brought the fierce winds, I was blown, 
where the luster of a penny 
has veiled the eyes of many.
