In a garden lush, where secrets lie,

A silver-tongued snake begins to sly.

His scales agleam, his eyes aglitter,

With words as sweet as honeyed twitter.

🐍🐍🐍

He slithers close, a charming guise,

His praises sung to gain allies.

With every hiss, he weaves a tale,

A master in the art of flail.

🐍🐍🐍

He schmoozes here, he flatters there,

A serpent skilled in false affair.

His words like silk, his smile so bright,

He basks in the deceptive light.

🐍🐍🐍

He joins the circles, earns their trust,

A façade of wisdom, sleek and just.

Yet in his heart, a venom vile,

A hunger fed by greed and guile.

🐍🐍🐍

deceptive snake

🐍🐍🐍

He steals their knowledge, their precious lore,

And siphons resources, more and more.

His silver tongue, a tool so sharp,

In every word, a hidden barb.

🐍🐍🐍

But whispers spread, the truth takes wing,

The serpent’s lies no longer sing.

Exposed, unmasked, his charm undone,

He faces shadows, shuns the sun.

🐍🐍🐍

For those he wronged, now stand as one,

The serpent’s game forever done.

In the garden lush, where secrets lie,

No place remains for silver-tongued sly.
