NIGHTMARE OF RUMOURS

Snake tongues rattled and hissed words of poison mechanically,

With green-eyed monsters lurking beneath their skin,

Circling the rumours of suspicion onto those of white blood,

Like a frightened rabbit in deaths doorway to car headlights fell.

The slithering tale encapsulating innocent yet friendly ears,

Smearing their venom amongst those of lowered fighters hands,

Trickling down the innocent white hart's hands,

As though regarding herself as this murderess.

Flight of fear, fighting the dark, losing, chocking, drowning,

Yet tales of talk were not in vain, but yet they failed once again,

Smearing that of lies over white walls, black onto red,

Trapping the rabbit in the snare, as though to kill it in the shell.

My friend, would you tell the old lie? To children so high,

To fall so low, by that of snakes and their hungry green-eyes.
