Snake in the grass. It’s hidden trash. Make sure it doesn’t slither past.
Day and night that venomous bite will get you fast.
Presented as a friend it promises to give you life.
When it gives you a Pat on the back check for a knife.
That snake in the grass gave you an apple then said take a bite.
Now every few seconds we live is meant to take a life.
Don’t trust his words because his speech brings death.
Every exchange of words is a last breath until there’s nothing left.
The snake in the grass loves to appear as a friend.
Rub shoulders with his sun and you will meet an end.
Trusting a serpent means your future is a thing of the past.
Want a healthy life? Stay away from snakes in the grass.
