They Smile In Your Face....

....all the time they want to take your place, those backstabbers....backstabbers....

We know these people...we work with them, we live with them, we play with them. They sport two masks: One to elude the victim and the other to elude themselves. They speak with forked tongues, they act for the Academy Award...

These clever, cunning people won't stop at nothing to get what they want: fame, acknowledgement, success, notoriety. All at the expense of others. Sure, it usually starts off with simple misrepresentations of self. The supposed skills and qualities they may possess.

They get in good with the bosses, even family and friends. They piggyback off other's talents and ambitions. But the moment someone stands in the way of their success, they run and "tell." There is always a price to pay, those faces just don't go away....

The overzealous, overbearing, overconfident person that tries to compensate for the things that may be lacking in their lives. Spreading their venom like snakes striking their prey in the woods. They secretly wage battles against others - Victorious? Today maybe...Tomorrow? Who knows, they may autoinnoculate themselves with the same venom they used to strike.

During the course of this tyranny you're stuck with smiling faces and incredibly friendly people who seem "genuinely" concerned about your welfare...all in the name of a dagger!
