Betrayal
If asked to betray one you hold most dear
What recompense would you expect to hear?
Would it be done for the sake of one's wealth,
Or fear of torture, or fear for one's health?
Would you prefer secretly to backstab;
Or rather, openly, consciously, blab?
What is the price of the friendships you make:
From what bribe will you these friendships forsake?
To be the target of some deceptions
Leaves one holding unpleasant emotions.
Be careful in whom one places one`s trust --
Or cowardly avoid all of the lust
That gives rise to your worldly attachments,
`Til betrayal is a minor nuisance.
