Snake
Listen to poem:
Snake
You may be poised to celebrate
As shadows whirl around us
I feel you might be premature
As destiny has found us
The children cower in the dark
But hope will flick the light on
The power of fear is banished
As the King enters to fight on
So here we stand defiant
As the page is slowly turning
This chapter in the book of love
Is all about returning
No matter how you hiss and spit
Your venom is redundant
An antidote to all our woes:
Our spiritual incumbent
Is waiting in the wings
The stage is set and ready
Life is the play, and freedom sings
This plot twist sweet and heady
So shuffle on my footless friend
Your days are small in number.
We've rolled the reddened carpet out
The King's not dead.
Just rising from His slumber..
