Betrayal is a treacherous, lethal snake-bite from the back,
Until stinging, it keeps the vulnerable prey in the fatal dark.
Its deadly teeth are sharper than those of a giant shark.
Once caught in its mortal grip, it’s too tough to inch back!
Betrayal keeps the prey under susceptible infatuation,
It casts on him an unwary, alluring, hypnotic fascination,
It clamps its viciously entrancing, enticing stamp on him,
Until his last breath, it enthralls him with a sham charm!
The portrayal of betrayal is tedious, tiresome and tough,
Cheaters adorn themselves with this hideous slough.
They hoodwink the innocent by their hallucinatory game.
Oh! They are devoid of scruple, pity, humanity and shame!
Hark! To keep yourselves immune to this baneful betrayal,
You must neither be credulous nor be easily gullible.
You must stop thinking that all types of oil are edible,
You must learn to be more mature, sensible and practical.
The betrayers must be timely picked and duly pricked,
They must be taught an unforgettable and lasting lesson,
They must be chastised for a revived and refined incarnation,
To protect the innocuous from being perfidiously kicked.
* chastised –punished * innocuous – innocent * perfidiously - falsely
