BACKSTABBERS
What is it that motivates or drives this breed?
Spreading rumours and sowing the seed
Baseless & without foundation they wield their axe
Their twisted lies & untruths lacking the facts
What is to gain, what can they hope to achieve?
As they act without conscience and seek to deceive
Close by your side a friend, ally, someone in whom you trust
Then without warning they will grind you into the dust
There is no set criterion it can be anyone, it just depends
Family, a colleague a stranger or even close friends
Like judge & jury they accuse & sentence in the blink of an eye
Upon their crusade attacking with venom perpetuating the lie
Blinded by ignorance foolishly believing they are in the right
Whilst watching you suffer taking great delight
Sad little lives devoid of any meaningful fulfilment
Always ready to criticize and pass scornful comment
Fuelled by jealousy bitter thoughts consume their mind
Not always able to see it coming, completely blind
The things you have, how hard you work they just don’t see
In their eyes they think it’s handed on a plate given free
Opening your eyes to those who are truly your friends
For the pain and hurt they cause, they can never make amends
Once bitten twice shy no tears for them will I ever cry
The well of my friendship for them has run dry
Sad but true, in this day and age the only one you can depend on is you
Acquaintances come cheap so hard to find friends who are true
Tread with caution before letting someone in until you are sure
Otherwise you will always end up getting hurt just as before
