Snakes

Anger desires our souls It feeds on them like poisonous snakes devils, serpents, and monsters hungering for flesh Always there, watching us Waiting for their moment as we blindly move forward attached to our screens they have meaning, craving, desire much simpler than ours Darkness's appetite grows ravenous As our hearts close We humans are flawed And anger knows well Our capabilities to explode When desire becomes jealousy Creatures know we are exposed Attacking at just the right time To them, violence is a necessity Anger keeps them from going extinct When we crave another When we fear unknowns When looking at mirrors And rage boils over Whether towards ourselves or Towards another, us humans are no better than a cold hearted beast that hasn't eaten for weeks Monsters only think of survival not what in the Bible or society's creed How then is the sight of two snakes intertwined in love's passion feel creepy to many? humans do many evil things even when it's unnecessary we are not superior beings just egotistical liars unable to see our true reasons for our actions and our being
