Relative

Our permanance is only relative;
And so is our truth.
Spoken only when it is convenient,
The defination twisted as needed.

And so are our promises.
The next best thing to bloodties.
The cleverest way of deception
Is to ink all the lies.

Our tongues are harsh;
They ought to be forked,
For our fangs do inject poison
And we do suffocate our prey.

And we silently slither away,
Luna's watching and so we're crazy today.
The reality of our existance is only relative;
And so is our defination of who
(what)
we are.

Thank you very much, I'll definetly publish more x]

Humm a very though provoking poem. And yes it is a harsh, brutal but beautiful portrayal of human emotions. I feel this poem was born out of experience, and I love the images u use. The metaphor of the snake was good, tho I must admit I feel a bit sorry for snakes; they get such bad press for only doing what is natural to them, which ironically you use to depict what is not, or maybe is natural to humans. Lets hope there is some honesty left in the world. A beautiful poem tho!!

Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked it and understood where I was getting at. It is a sort of a poem born out of experience, but mostly because I am rather...perceptive of what goes on around me. I've written more poems of the type, I'll publish them shortly. Thank you again for the comment :)
