SNAKES AND FAKES

by Bill Kochman

10-12-2024

I don't have time for legalistic snakes,
Forget about brethren who are fakes.
They want to catch me in their snare,
But I'm not stupid, no, I'm quite aware.

Using smooth words, they offer bait,
Trying to trap me in a useless debate.
I see them coming from a mile away,
Yes, I know what they're going to say.

They start out so slow to set their trap,
But I'm just not interested in their crap.
In the truth they do not have a desire,
They only want to start a doctrinal fire.

I'll play their game and give them rope,
Yes, playin' the player, I give ‘em hope.
Thinking they got me where they want,
Those creeps start to attack and taunt.

I'm thick-skinned, I could not care less,
I'll go silent & leave them in their mess.
It's just not worth engaging those fools,
They're not family, they're Satan's tools.

To those jerks it's all simply some game,
Someday their words will be their shame.
