Viper Among Us

Viper among us, lurking about to seek those he can devour. Bitting from the backside, always sneaking around to destroy those kind hearted souls. So be watchful of the viper, he may be searching you out to destroy once and for all. wrote 8-15-08

Best to ignore, James. Those who would do damage behingd another's back aren't worth worrying about. Most people are priceless but there are a few wgho are worthless. Vince

you guys are so judgemental but one help the bad apples. You sound church folks who are in church talking about the young kids outside but wont goe outside and preach to them.

I can relate to this James as he comes in many forms. Very well written my friend. Thanks you for you beautiful words on my poem Messages from Heaven. We lost our youngest daughter 4 years ago and less than a year later my husband. Still he has been there for me and still is. God Bless, Cile

Like Sharon said, there is always one or two bad apples in a bunch - very very sad, but true. A very thought provoking poem, indeed. Well said, James, Many blessings, Kristin

Well, always a bad apple in every bunch. I know one or two myself. Sometimes though, I like to think things are not always as they seem. Interesting write. Love, Shar
