Notes About The Poem

Metaphor...Evilness...Gossipers...Liars...Choices

Venomous Tongue

Hissing noises,
A slithering tongue,
Who can hear the poison?

Fangs that drip a lethal infection,
Targets made unaware,
Who will survive her injection?

Darkness lights the way,
Victims fall beneath her tongue,
Who will stay?

The road ahead is divided,
One is Dark,
Who will walk beside it?

Choices made,
Before the sun rises, 
Who will let darkness light their way?

That's Sad Silent One...Nothing Wose Than Someone That Takes Advantage And Gossips And Lies Under The Demise Of Evilness, All To Benefit Their Own Untruths, Trying To Convince You. Thanks,,,Vickie
