Snake People

Snakes have a reputation

For being deceitful

For enticement like

With Adam and Eve

They have a reputation

For being slippery

They have a reason

It appears for all they do

Written in many great books

In history snakes conceal

Everything that they do

They hide their intent

In the same as many people do

They cannot be trusted

And have to be treated with much care

Be wise and aware in the ways they choose

For you can be sure they will not benefit you.
