"Kissing Snakes"

"Kissing Snakes"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

I have fallen in a nest of vipers

And they bite me when they smile

They praise me to my face

and poison me when I turn away

II

They say the words

and hiss their malice

Things like family and devotion

just really never ending retributions

III

I feel the venom in my veins

and every time I turn and run

they see my helplesness ,

They bare their fangs and dig some more

IV

I have fallen and received the lies

And now here I lie
