Creative Writing: Poem 13

We like to cast our friends as vile villains
Ready to play the part of devilish politician
A Brutus always waiting in the wings
About to stab our backs without feeling a thing
Always ready to exclaim with conviction
"Judas! It is you who has secured my crucifixion!"

But most acts of treachery are accidental
Happenstances - careless and incremental
I rarely find an act of treason
Executed with carefully calculated reason
A kiss on the cheek meant in affection
Rather than manipulated deception
