Deceitful Leaves

Brush up against me, touch of my oil

Feel the itch of my ever growing boil


Scratch and itch

Pick. Pick. Pick.

Take hold of my vine, and touch my curved leaf

My blisters will spread though you beg for relief

Scratch and itch

Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.

Burn my many leaves, inhale my white smoke

My rash will soon bubble and swell in your throat

Scratch and itch

Choke. Choke. Choke.

The damage is done

My poison is planted

You are deceived

Your courage supplanted

Know of my nature and you will be safe

Take not my lies, and turn from my face.

Stay on the path and venture not far

Lest my poison take over your innocent heart.
