a fair game

some people know how to make others believe

some people know how to make others believe
and that's why they are
dangerous

sometimes they're hard
to spot at first but
mostly always
the signs are undeniable once
they uncover themselves

you can call them
what you want but mostly
they're known as
ass kissers or
butt lickers
and they can be anywhere

in your classroom
at your work
name it

disguised as someone
you can trust, someone
with the mask of
confidence and

that's the irony

some people know how to make others believe

that's why they're dangerous

once they gain your trust
they'll crawl under your skin

power trip is a damned thing
in the hands of the weak minded
and you won't know it until
you find their knife stabbed in
your back

but be rest assured
karma always
and I mean
always
finds the way

to get
even the most
experienced ones

yes, sometimes
I do hope
life can surprise us
with a fair game

to even things up
