Trojan Horse Tale








Her words sound as effortless as if spun from a child's flash card series. Kisses skip from fingertips while winks with grins serve to thrash the truth. An in-depth search reveals she is a token mouthpiece of the vindictive and hired to stir the cauldron of war.



Trojan Horse
This description has become a metaphor for any person or thing that appears innocent or benign, but actually presents danger or harmful intent.

And, the more innocent they look the less we fear them or see it coming. Well written piece. Have a nice night.
