MASK OF FALSE CHARM
-Bonita M Quesinberry
Give them a pound, give them
an ounce, give them an inch,
either way they will take all you have without a flinch!
They utter and moan and
speak with forked tongue,
evil spewing from their mouths
like rotten dung.
Then they touch your mind and body with wicked fire,
and prepare for you a funeral pyre.
continued:
Yes, these are the devil's own
tormented souls,
and to have yours is their only goal!
They bewitch and beguile you
from behind a mask of false charm,
but in those eyes you will see
the intention of deadly harm.
For their stance
is on the beautiful side of evil
and has been since before time medieval!
