Forked tongue spits death
thinly disguised as kindness.
Poison heart spews bile.
How is it that you
are by him so deeply loved,
yet feel only hate?
We found this snake in our yard…he’s beautiful and harmless – unlike the subject of this poem
Hateful man

The beauty of truth suffers the scorn of ignorance; the metaphor adores the ignorance of truth. Clarity offers itself to us; we must learn to see (it).
Be Well,
Delbert
