Analysis of SNITCH
A sinking ship
The rat makes its trip
First one out of the disaster
An art no one should master
It speaks of character
You have none if you're a ditcher
Liar in every layer
A human being cannot go lower
Snitches get stitches
An adage for ages
Repairing broken bridges
Not an option for these acts of Cowardice
Tattletale another name
Saves his skin in any game
Reveals secrets about the same
Has no self respect or shame
Looks appealing
Playing both sides
Roll of the dice
A matter of time
Before cut to size
Keep away from people
Who play you on the double
Wont blink before letting you scramble
Lifes greatest preamble
Information barter
Seeming benefits to cater
Wanting to be popular
Nature by itself regular
Rewards for being an informer
Caste creed and color
Dont separate man
With life on the line
Those who can
Can of worms not split
Stand apart from the rest
Opposite of loyalty
Anathema to Gratitude
Quality to loathe
Take an oath
Keeping the secret
Builds character
Friend turned foe
Tests your role
Never buy you future
With secrets to offer
Closets in your cupboard
Wont take long to rebound
