The serpentHave you ever heard about a serpentwhose malicious method of attackis to act lifeless and defenselessat the bottom of a lake?

The prey, convinced that it is dead, approach with their guard downto pay the steep price of this crowning innocenceof encroaching on the executioner.

Like a deceitful snake, time tends to give us the illusionto think that its threat does not exist.

The youth, brief and beautiful, leaves it lurking, a coward, at the bottom of the lake.

And we dance, ignoring it, unable to comprehend in our futile effortsthe betrayal it holds for us.

False flatterer, it pretends to give useverything that it already knowsthat soon it shall take away.

When we see the face of the serpentwhen at the end of the ruse we realize, it is often very late, far into the nightand we are almost always too tired.
