Serpent of Society

O you vile slimy serpent
You planted your seed
Based on other's needs
Your poison you spit out
Spreading it about
You vile creature
You are out to trap
Weak wills that will seek you out
You will wind around like a rope
Feeding off them till they choke
You vile slimy serpent
You will poison till some die
You will feed on habits
On many will you hang
Shooting your poison
Through their veins
You vile creature of society.
We would like to put you 
In lock and chains
So your never free again.

Who did you have in mind when your wrote this one,Phyllis? this is the kind that we feel inspired to write when someone makes us good and angry! I'm glad I found it to read, something new and different from you. So How are you doing tonight? WEll, REd Riding Hood is a dark fairy tale, you may not like vampires. but what about WEREWOLVES???
