Phases

Calm, controlled, nice and precise,

The persona of those who give good advice;

Vile, low, wicked and cruel,

Their only purpose - to make you a fool.



Morally, mentally and physically adept,

A person you’d like, a friend you’d accept;

Conniving, scheming, a treacherous snake,

Their empty brotherhood - a fatal mistake.



So before I ask, though the answer may seem clear,

I beg of you - look in the eyes of those you hold dear.



Are they an Artemis of sorts, as true as they say,

People who would back you up, and guide your way?



Or are they as false as the new moon is dark,

A real-life Hecate, their words callous and stark?



In reality, today, the answer is clear,

All of us have thoughts of both malice and of cheer.

The real question is: How do we control them? Our thoughts inside?

There is no other way but to use our hearts as our guides.
