Vicious Pride

be careful of vicious people
like animals
they appear calm at times
but under the cover of darkness
they prowl and wait for their prey

they seem friendly and smile
but in the darkness of their hearts
they slander against you
to devour and destroy
they leave little room for escape
there is no kindness in their hearts
but fear vengeance and violence

those who are of your own household
have little exemption
they rank among the most vicious
and why
because of one thing only

pride
