Warning of the Webs

The web of deception that hangs within the darkest areas of night
are not those of spiders, but of the deadliest creature known; man.
Spun in heavy thread, it is used to capture those innocents that wander
without thought of evil, or even ideas of corruption or death.
It’s naturally the plate on which meals are served as the heart of man
becomes devoured by the mouths of those that create the web.
Best be careful as you walk upon earth, for it’s not creatures to fear;
but it is those with hearts that spin silk and lies rather than love.

Oooh Michael, this is quite excellent. So sadly true and very well written. Too many will be caught and learn the hard way. Well done. Love, Shar
