Poet's note: This is a social poem. Its explores the nature of man, stating clearly the fallibility of man to man. In the journey of life betrayal is inevitable but its hurt to see the one you trust to betray you. Many a friend is a wolf in a friend's clothing. Only God is trustful, because He cannot and will never fail. This poem cautions all humanity to put their trust in God, advising humans to be cautious in choosing friends, because the enemy is within.
