Guilt by association

A knife alongside a spoon, which is used to eat peas

Flea on a rat's back, which is able to spread disease

A dove with crows in the field, which will the farmer shoot

Hole in the apple, will you eat the worm with the fruit

A bullet in a gun, which one the victim kills

A finger on the trigger, go figure, which one death fulfills

All associated with the other, guilt by association

Is it both, one or none that should be taken into consideration

 Beware friends you keep, with whom you sleep, in their shadow you live 

Guilt by association, people's interpretation, right or wrong it's what you give
