False words spilling from a venomous tongue,
all sugary sweet, all golden light
Now the hand is not to be poised to strike,
but what happens when the poison is drawn?

I say to you listen and laugh
Listen and laugh to it all
You can say to yourself you don't give a damm,
their words are false and you see right through
but what happens when others are so blind?

Believing the lies spouting from the mouth of a snake
Surely the lowest of the low
The people you love are blindfolded, wandering in the dark,
so innocent looking as lambs to a slaughter,
so willing to believe the false ones words,
but what can you do when you have given up hope?

Your doubts flood you in a torrential downpour, letting nothing else through
the poisonous darts hit a target in your heart,
and the Serpent has finally won
Untruths become Truths
you can't distinguish fiction from fact
And the world sees you as the evil one.

Sorri about the spelling errors. I was trying to finish typing it before the bell rang.

Thanks for the replies.

BIG WELCOME, Sikanda! Wow ... I loved this. It's got anger, depth and good insight. And the writing, I can see, is accurate and just dense enough to obscure ... and cast light.

Oh yeah, I like this!

Looking this poem over I realize that it can have a lot of meanings. My original intent was to show the situation between me and my soon-to-be stepmother but as with most of my poems it ends up meaning more.

I love symbolism.
