Divine Intervention

Not a way I'd want to wonder
Strange bursts flow through
Down and out the score evens
Unknown are the conflicts inside
Blister of the heart grows continuous
Snakes bite the unwary traveler
Growing double by unhitched soul
Placating another heart skyward
Peace runs a taught ship, softly
Earning respect to divine power
Every deity's dream to scrape mankind
Off their shoes of burning hell
