The Secrets Betrayal

Arrive at your convictions with better clarity For assumption is the father of all misconceptions Do not be misled by the false pretense of men For demons wears the most righteous smiles Even when men prove themselves to be angels They are high possibilities they could turn demons Do not be carried away by the lofty music of life And dance with a slow and watchful step If you must merry, merry with much wisdom For too many consumption sours the taste of pleasures I have seen great men kiss their very last On a table of trustworthy friends and lovers Time can ravage the mind and heart of any man An turn an innocent man into a bloody villain Trust not the man better than your observations For you are the only true friend you have in life So in all your doings apply cautiousness And never unfriend yourself to befriend any man I have told you before men are but shapeshifters Shaping themselves to suit every profitable occasion In the depth of the free ocean lies the sticky mud So as in the depth of friendship betraying intentions Once again I will wisely say trust no man And do not be confident in predicting their deeds Only a fool will claim he knows a friend too well For the only meal you own is that which you’ve eaten

A dark, dank piece, though I'm sure that's you're intent, so huzzah!
