Surrounded by Serpents
My spirit roils and seethes in endless contempt Trespasser, perpetrator, transgressor A beguiling artifice encrusted in Epicurean desire Detractor, villifier, disparager Surrounded by serpents (I Am!) Surrounded by serpents Rising! Rising! In your condemnation, my spirit hath arose Preaching! Preaching! In evangelical pride, the fabrication you spoke Beseeching! Beseeching! My conviction, a burning effigy in your name (I Am!) Aristarch! I have become what you were to me (I Am!) Chastised! Castigated for a sacrifice I did not repent (I Am!) A truth! Collapsed into a clenched fist (I Am!) Venom! I shall become thy holy serpents’ poison (Which resides within your heart) A zealot’s wreckage conspicuously swathed as virtue signalling Perjurer, equivocator, pretender Surrounded by serpents (I Am!) Surrounded by serpents Hatred! Hatred! Through your revulsion, I have overcome Sacred! Sacred! Flagellated upon thine self-serving cross Fated! Fated! For a justified proclamation, I am damned Drowning in your serpents’ grasp I may be Wrongfully punished for I would not prostrate Would not yield or submit at your temple of conceit Now taste the vengeful steel of my conviction Send thy holy serpents’, for I am their venom Which shall reside within your heart for all time Slowly corroding your insides, as your vicious lies Collapse around you as a clenched fist prevails I Am! The hypoxia as your brain’s starved of air I Am! The poison which constricts your heart I Am! The necrosis that eats at your flesh I Am! The festering tumour in your bones I Am! The darkness that extinguishes the light in your eyes I Am! The oblivion that awaits I Am!
