Have you heard the saying The strong can afford to be gentle While the weak and unsure brag and boast? The weak are the loudest!   With overbearing, feigned affection and denial. Speaking half truths to cast illusions To veil their target's truth, as lies. The weak love to gather an army, of "everyone," so they say. Why? It is simple! To siphon your power away. Yes, they are the "Wolves in sheep's clothing" Climbing to the top of a mountain of victims With their claws -n- fangs Of gaslighting manipulations. Half -truths and lies, Guilt -n- shame, Setting up circumstances, Playing upon weakness, and social taboos. Creating false scenarios for others to see Gossiping and acting All tools of their game. Are you scorned, Offended and hurt? Never ever worry. Never let it get to you! Know, it is all for show. This is how they magnify their victim role. But who calls a ravenous wolf a victim, Knowing the wolf's actions are aimed at control?!! The wolves are very sly! Summoning their hatchet men to do their bidding! To cut down the innocent, The sincere, and pure of heart. Stealing their virtues Misrepresenting intent. Are you a part of this cancerous skurge up on the earth?! Are you part of their inner circle? Are you favoured and showered with gifts? That job you always wanted? The power, position, and money That Screams, "I AM RICH !!!!" I AM POWERFUL!!! "I HAVE ARRIVED!!!" How many people did you destroy? How many hearts did you break? How many times did you sale your soul? To be showered with those gifts, That power, and that position? Ease your guilt if you wish. Send a card for every follower's birthday, Stroke their ego with a wonderful mention, A salute, to toast both your egos! As long as you have something to offer You will be savoured and milked, and stroked Like aphids in an anthill forever trapped. Why all this effort to send their targets over the edge? To keep alive? To avoid the inevitable overshadowing doom? What happened to the wolf that used to be free? Little by little, the wolf was lead astray. With a gentle ring in its nose Down into the valley Where they fear their personal evil. Each time you did their bidding Your nose became tighter And your slavery more sure. One day, it will be your turn You will be the "One" Their sacrificial lamb. Be alert. Be alive. Beware. Of their sly well placed apologies and feigned love.   Pushing you away Then pulling you in very close.   Twisting and turning your truth To suit themselves. To suit their captain, their very own Kingpin. Alienation, keeping you alone? How about in shame? Is it misleading, even your own emotions? Your own beliefs, and acts? Standing on your back, They will turn you Over and over again. Until you, their very own scapegoat, collapse. Whether of exhaustion, mental collapse, or suicide It doesn't matter. So long as you dutifully do it Moving them further ahead. Do you realize that there is a different choice? You can insist on holding your integrity! Refuse to hurt another! You can refuse to be afraid! You can refuse to self blame, You can choose to stands up and walk away from the game!   But, once as a wolf in sheep's clothing You become blood stained Their hooks will be deep into your soul! Anchored so strongly by fear. Tied up in the hooking and anchoring Fear propels you on to Denying reality, Denying truth Denying even evil your own evil actions Along the path of 8 deadly sins. Weaving am ever thicker, forever holding web of lies. What if you curb your hunger for the bait they set? Denying pride, anger, gluttony, Letting go of greed, lust, envy, Idolatry, and sloth. What if you take courage to make life right? Becoming untwisted and detangled from the games?   For love is what matters to the strong Not power, nor greed, nor money, nor fame. The wolves may grasp and manoeuvring for more power. With increased desperation,  The wolves cloaks begins to slip. Alast, the sleeping sheep eyes are awakened And they are asleep no more. Do you suspect you are dealing with a wolf in sheep's clothing? Watch their feet and watch their mask. Test them. Give them a bit of their sought after desire. Then watch closely   Do they dawn a slight smile when they ask for control? Do they do it again when you give a little to them?   Watch! You will see a slight smirk, A slight gloat, dance across their face. It will be only for an instant. They will not thank you. Acting entitled, they will proceed to take control Without a thought of you As they climb upon your back, to stand up! Thinking that they have scored And wheeled their power to manipulate and control. If you see this, there is no doubt. Trust your instincts, your gut! Never allow their words to dis-sway you from your voice of truth! Is there a wolf under your daughter's, your mother's, your sister's, Your brother's, your aunt's, your uncle's, your cousin's And/or closest friend's sheepish cloak? You know the one! The one who seems to pick a fight That comes out of nowhere, Without a rhyme nor reason. Know that you never have to engage them Or prove yourself. You never give up who you are. Never give up on your dreams! Hold on to your true self! Speak your truth. If it is trampled by swine Go to where it will be cherished instead. Love, prayer, boundaries, Living within the higher vibrations. I gave my own wolves' in sheeps' clothing Their own universe to do whatever they will. It was the kindest thing I could do for all of us. I kindly invite them back If and only if they leave the games behind!! And live sincerely, with compassion, and respect. If I see they have stopped climbing on other's backs I'd lovingly accept them back into  my world. Yet, it is interesting How deep my peace has become. Oh, such peace!!! How could I ask for more?

Is it a Wolf in Sheep's Clothing?
Have you heard the saying The strong can afford to be gentle While the weak and unsure brag and boast? The weak are the loudest!   With overbearing, feigned affection and denial.

Some of us have our greatest challenges within our own families. I have always felt different and apart from my family. Innately my mould seemed different. As I crawled out of the pattern of family games, manipulations, power plays, and control of others for greed, power, and to show prowess as a teenager, I realized that may goals were different. I believed in a kinder, gentler, existence. It made me a truth seeker, in search of increased knowledge, peace, and love. I don't regret that I have sprung from these roots. I feel I choose my family before birth. They have tested me, and I choose something different for myself. Patterning more after my father's love of truth, respect, and honoring others. These lessons have made me who I am today. I lost nothing, but the relationships that seek harm, to overpower. I am just not interested in these games and chose long ago to step out of them. If they desire to be in my world. I am open to real love, without games.
