Have you seen the movie Catfish? If not, I invite you to watch this very interesting film (trailer below) and see for yourself how social networking could be scary sometimes and pose a danger to anyone specially the most vulnerable ones.

This poem is inspired based on a true story that is similar to the movie itself where a mentally deranged (sociopath) woman filled her fantasies with lies and deceptions taking advantage of the lonely souls, if not the vulnerable ones. Why catfish? Accordingly, when live cod were shipped from North America to Asia, the fish's inactivity in their tanks resulted in mawkish flesh. However, fishermen found out that putting catfish in the tanks along with the cod kept them active.

Since sociopaths are capable of manipulating their victims using their wit and charm and have the ability to captivate other people to believe in them and make them active in life, it makes them parallel to a catfish. They can create various personae based on the life they fantasize and can very well use their charm to get their victims’ sympathy. They take advantage of the most vulnerable ones.

Sociopaths are sometimes called a bluff, charlatan, pretender, double-crosser, an impostor, a crook, deceiver, shark or barracuda. They have a parasitic lifestyle and are pathological liars. Although sociopaths are people with psychopathic personality, not all of them are criminals. However, they lack a sense of moral responsibility or social conscience.

There's no known cure for sociopaths but they definitely need professional help. They can suck your blood out. So, beware! Dont be a victim!

"Catfish will try to win your love and sympathy. So, use your common sense". - Dr. Phil

You put her under your spell

With your gentle words

And charming facade

But beneath those beautiful eyes

Is a devil in disguised.


The early signs raised alarm

Your story so wicked yet you sold it

To this foolish child who's blindly in love

And in love she left some broken souls

Leaving in-depth pain of frustrations.


Bereft of moral and values in life

You’re a parent of five pretended a teen

And snatched your prey

With your evil desire to run away

From the ghosts of your past.


Such a heartless creature

You stole her future

Now she’s kept in a cage

What a shame indeed such a disgrace

Living a life full of lies.


In your fantastical sense

You changed your appearance

The color of your hair, even your name

That beautiful name now dastardly owned

By a con artist with a mysterious past - YOU.


Once virtuous child now dimmed with sins

Superficial tears rich with insincerity

Is your weapon to gain some sympathy

And within the walls of dishonesty

Is a life destroyed by your vicious intent.


While the sense of betrayal continues

The tortured souls you have deeply hurt

Will patiently wait for the judgment day

With a hopeful heart, it will soon arrive

Singing praises of the truth to smile about.


The twist and turn of playing games

You’re a slimy, stinking catfish in a pond

Hard to figure like a tangled tussle

Divine intervention promise not to curse

So, here's a prayer instead that you breed nil.
