Traitor Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Anyone who has ever been led to believe,
A keeping to not reveal their dishonesty...
To conceal and not reveal,
To a spouse, lover or someone regarded...
As a close confidential friend,
For purposes to keep them deceived...
Is a traitor.
Motivated by a selfishness kept.

'There are exceptions.'

Exceptions?
There are no 'exceptions'.

'Suppose someone lies.
And innocently does this until they are caught?
You know...
Some perceive a telling of a lie,
Is not done if they are not caught telling one.'

And people like that are the most dangerous.
They will deny a lieing to anyone,
Until a catching them in one is done.

'Someone like that is a traitor.
To do what they wish with belief it's okay.
With a seeking to eat cheese...
And like sneaking rats doing as they please,
To lie about it with the cheese and in the trap.'
