Treachery

Treachery A stinging sensation A sense of indignation Oh the smell of treachery! When those that you love And those whom do hate Clash and break tragically Like glass slammed on rock Or an egg smashed in its crate Oh the smell of treachery! It’s nothing to do with you And nothing to deal with me Yet we’re here inevitably The betrayal, the lies No one wants to compromise Oh the smell of treachery! Two faces lodged in one But one pops out a gun And ends the ordeal fatally Say it takes two to fight Yet not one willing to lose Oh the smell of treachery! Point fingers at everyone And you say do what you preach All I can say is to that is: pure hypocrisy Oh the smell of treachery!

Notes

So much on the news about hate among people who are friends, related and neighbors unfortunately marks our "modern" society. Things that we should have moved away from are still things that we struggle with today, Mark Twain was right in writing that even animals know better (The Damned Human Race- it's a good read, very sad truth tied to it).
