Boot Licks

slithering snakes run silent sleeping snakes lay deadly awakened venom ready while reigning as prone giants breathe upright fools gather tolls exhale hate and hued discord bow in ranks to thy dark lord ascending dust; marching trolls march riotous foolery spew venomous rhetoric slither fork-tongued heretics confess inflamed schoolery o’ taste and see politics halls unjust, wall-smears dark read blood-soaked tiles seep pus instead walking snakes hiss for boot-licks

I am torn between the fact that snakes are just doing what they were born to do. I think humans are giving snakes a bad name because they behave as snakes do. Your poem has made me have a hard think about using animal behaviour and blaming the animal. Thank you

I've always thought about using snakes as a symbol in a poem. Your poem is thought provoking and visual. Thanks for sharing........peace!
