look.
look at their

sweet serpent tongues
dripping with just enough
honey

to lure us into their
poison lies
they are the ones whose twisted thorns trip us
but are the only thing to grasp as we fall


HARD
our blood stains the earth

and they drink it up
loving the pain and misery they caused
acid rain pours from the sky
and burns us with each little nick at our pride


what are they doing?
they drown us in gasoline

telling us everything will be fine
with their sweet serpent tongues

just before dropping the match
