The Snake
THE SNAKE
A Poem by Debbie_Philly
" This was a Metaphor for a person that i was dealing with at the time !! "
The Snake
The snake is cunning, resourceful and sharp
looking for it's prey with ever watchful eyes.
Slithering undetected on its belly yet always
defensive knowing that in its low position getting
stepped on by unknowing feet is a given making
it the willing target of pity.
Although no one wants to step on the snake it does
not believe this making the venom it quietly spits
that more deadly.
Laying low eyes darting , scheming waiting and
convincing for its charms are unmatched. Holding
steadfast to its high position among the unsuspecting.
The snake can trick the smartest of men with its
forked tongue spitting countlessssss lies.
You may think the snake is unattractive and slimy
but you would be wrong, its glistening skin and piercing
eyes will fool the most notable scholars .
Somehow we always end up feeling sorry for the snake
its sad eyes and carefree the devil made me do it gets
this loathsome creature out of trouble every time.
Forever shedding its friends like skin is what brings
this creature to life happier with each new worshiping
prey.
Never being held accountable for its actions or words
yet being held high for its actions and words.
If you listen long enough you will begin to believe
the countless lies of the snake, the endless promises
and sweet nothings that drip from its fangs.
Trapped and disillusioned you become as it takes
your honor, common sense and questionable
sanity down into the dark blinding dirt.
So take heed boys and girls before you believe
all you are fed, listen closely and intently
so as not to become the next victim of the
SNAKE !!!!
