Wolves In Sheep's Clothing

Those amongst us, walk and talk, to relate,
whom they, really are; however, is not known.
Even thou, you believe, they have, your back,
they are, the first ones, to cast, the first stone.

For they wait, for you, to assume, of them, the best;
putting you, to sleep; pulling the wool, over your eyes.
Even thou, they may seem, to be kind, to you, at first,
they are, the ones, of which; you they, then despise.

For they, are ready, to take, what is yours,
and behind you insult you, while they, are loathing.
Beware of the origins, of the people, you confront,
for there are, wolves out there, in sheep's clothing.
