Viper

A creature as smooth as silk,
As pretty as a rose,
With a smile that kills both the mind and body,
With alluring patterns and curves,
Slithering from the branches of life,
it’s mark scaring the land in a display of cruel, beautiful irony.


Spitting poison in the face of those who show respect,
For the bodies you have engulfed,
Showing offence when the ones who spit back,
A trick of the mind to switch the blame,
Victims constricted by their doubt,
Coming close to something so alluring was their fault.


You are a snake,
A venom,
A virus,
Entangled in a selfish fear,
This heavy foliage covers it,
Your only weakness is who you spit your poison at,
Choose carefully,
One day someone will have a more potent poison than you.
