Today we live in
a world filled with hate.

Where a lie of one
can seal anothers fate.

Some people are real,
To many are fake.

Those we associate with,
is our choice to make.

Keep our friends close,
and our enemies at our side.

Because they are the ones,
with the most secrets to hide.

They will make up stories
and deny one of the truth.

They have no loyalty, morals
  or any couth.

Misery loves company
and those few friends they'll take.

They will slither together,
Like a nest of snakes.

Waiting for just the right moment,
To strike out of spite.

They'll strike with quickness,
with there venomous bite.

Breaking you down,
and tearing you apart.

You must react quickly,
before the venom reaches your heart.

So protect yourself
and give them a fight.

Beat them with love, purity
and the truth which is right.

Live
Love
Hope
