When you smile at me I see the tips of your fangs peeking out from behind your lips Your words drip from your mouth in gobs of venom And coat the minds of those around you Keeping them numb and compliant               Until it is time to strike.... But I have seen your fangs I have felt the cold sting of their bite And I know that no matter how sweet those words They are still poison. You can’t fool me, little ssssnake For when you flash those fangs at me I’ll flash mine back And there is more than one kind of predator in this jungle.

Dedicated to all those snakes out there posing as "friends."
