Tales of the Snake: Backstab

Spreading lies,
Breaking ties,
That's what a telltale does.

Spewing hate,
Changing fates,
He does that all.

Double life,
Like a knife,
He kills off our respect for him.

Commits crimes,
From time to time,
That breaks trust and bonds.

We’ve lost all hope,
All we do is mope,
When he’s around us, hearing every word.

Smugly he sleeps,
While we weep,
Reflecting on the lies and horrible things he spread to the public.

He knows,
He’s a desperado,
For respect, friends, and fame.

But this isn’t the right way,
He knows he shouldn’t play,
With the secrets and confessions he holds.

Oh Lord, we pray,
If You don’t fix his ways,
It’ll just bring us more dismay.

We shout, "Revenge is all we seek!
We need to make him feel weak!
We have to find a way to stop him!
"

When she gets what he deserves,
I hope this will serve,
As a very important lesson in friendship.

And, if by chance,
He does it again,

.

.

.

We’ll beat the s*** out of him.
