Be Not Deceived (A Sonnet)

Be Not Deceived.
-Galatians 6:7
…
Are they actually duped?
Or part of the scheme 
Thrown for a loop?
Or not what they seem
…
Part of the lies?
Or fell for the hoax
Snake in disguise?
Or tricked by the joke
..
Who has clean hands?
Which ones have blood
Who says what they mean?
Who’s wearing a hood
…
We want to believe their intentions are pure
For some that may be, but can never be sure
