A Venomous Viper

Poca à poca you crawled I stood dumb as you fouled The golden rules Only heaven knows Why I stood still and froze As you sneered and spat Your rancorous venom all over the place You forced your way in Pushed and pushed Till everyone stepped aside for you Only for us to be entrapped In your labyrinthine world of shame Now you tightened corners of your web Got victims Smashed the heads of cronies together And spat the spiteful venom on their hearts Oh, to us it tasted like fresh honey Only for us to remember it was too late For us to regurgitate Oh how my head hated To see my heart find joy In that cryptic ignominious world Imprisoned with acerbity As we watched your affected smile Crack up in drops of laughter We egged ourselves on Hoping your random peccadilloes Would not cause anymore pain For you to gain Oh how thankful I am To myself, my head in particular To get you to drink your own juice How relieving for me it is To se you languish in endless pain May the nemesis of your sins Be everlasting Till you are divinely purged clean By the Almighty Himself.
