The people maintained at the bottom of the ladder will always live in uneasiness. As a result, their 'morals writhe like wounded cobras' with a venomous tongue.

i'll put this in May 2019's showcase. Thanks. bri :) and i'll include this 'note': " What does it mean to be called a heel? " contemptible person, " 1914 in U.S. underworld slang, originally " incompetent or worthless criminal, " perhaps from a sense of " person in the lowest position" and thus from heel "

A strong and bold poem, i mean look at the first line, it such a huge statement and core meaning in the middle, tell directly to the face, sharp ending finished by great warning! this is brilliant!

Thank you so much, Soul. I think I did intend for this piece to have some fairly sharp, jagged edges. Thanks again.

The lowest of the low comes to mind. The wounded cobra image is interesting for those that have been wounded can be deadly in their morals and actions.10

Thank you so much, Simone. Yes, those are the cobras that design revenge, and give up on justice.
