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
