Yes indeed, snakes possess forked-tongues,
But none but the truth are uttered from,
Those who claim speak straight and narrow,
Not a forked-tongue they possess,
But are their minds split hence within,
One mind in two bodies,
Hence with a double tongue does it speak,
Two tongues does one mouth seem to possess,
Confusion does appear apparent,
Lie told in reverse, is it truth,
Truth turned inside out would be a lie,
One need not be a snake to slither in the dark,
Attributes does not one make,
Eye that would see truth,
Is but blind in vengeance,
A mind captured in a teacup,
Believes it sees all the world,
All things it sees are familar,
But has never ventured from within,
Look beyond the shiny eyes and dripping fangs,
Look within where truth resides,
Do not capture it on the wind,
For it it will take flight and disappear.

| That's so true...some people can just be so two-faced at time, I really liked your poem I know dozens of what you talk about. |
