Deception in the ranks

Oh, you friend with lying lips

from whom deception glibly slips,

how I wish I had never known

the darkness of the seeds you’ve sown.

You make up stories told for truth,

and do not fight with nail or tooth;

instead, you tear your friends apart,

driving wedges to the heart.

You do not sting with fist or foot

but paint my name in dark black soot.

Yet did you ever stop to think

how bitter are the words you drink?

Our Father sits with broken heart

as you tear relationships apart

and never seem to think or care

about the dried up blood you wear.
