The Snake

Watch out for that certain snake The person that slithers between moods The person who takes personal issues, using them as ammunition against others Then, around the bend fake niceness ensues It's as if the striking, painful words never happened Back and forth it can go, as he or he hides from truth This snake in the grass knows just where to go Watch out for this snake, the motives it may have, as this one builds plans to attack, swiftly, suddenly It escapes accountability, leaving a path in the sand, one with grains of salt, leaving an imprint on your soul Heidi Sands 3/10/25 (C)opyright

A slanted show is aired and People who you think have learned.? Still get Wrapped in those cuddly coils, why am i surprised.? All the best.'

Too many snakes in the grass. Some can be well camouflaged.

Far too many snakes are around, and they change their skin as it pleases them. Lovely poem.
