The Snake

Creeping silently in the darkness    

Come the lies the world adores.
Dressed in fine exotic costumes,
Luring like a street corner whore.
Quietly hiding in dark corners,.
Waiting for precise moments when
The time arrives to take the prisoner.
Evil wins. It begins again.
Watch your back! You're seldom safe.
Guard your heart! Don't look away!
Evil lurks to take you captive.
Entering in wherever he may.
