Listen to poem:
Thorns of Treachery
" ...betrayal begins with trust." Quote_ Phish
Betrayal is the cold shiny sword
of stalking deception,
sheathed in scabbard of trust.
Its two-edged blade is
honed to razor sharp,
ready to thrust, lunge and parry
a touche touch.
Betrayal is two-faced
and unreliable.
There's a switch blade in
the hand that reaches out
trustingly and faithfully
for more of you.
So as trust grows,
beware that it sows
the seeds of scorns
in the thorns
of treachery
and bribery.
