Symbolic Snake

slithering world serpent through the ocean of air impunity by nature , to understand thee thy dare infiltrate , dominate , conversions at will wooing the masses , lies , poisonous they spill masters of craft , art , they have built architects of time , vaults filled at their will institutions of power , early monarchs of earth treachery and greed , impregnated gave birth systems of government , religion they've controlled usurpers of power were quickly dethroned ancient houses of regents , predetermined by blood created confusion , unenlightenment by flood waves of misery , waves of dark history waves of slavery , waves of atrocities emotions attuned to human tragedy sacrifices made to garner sympathy death incurred , monumental price to pay wealth accrued in an evil way white rose of life , black rose of death checkerboard symbols , a mean game of chess the world at large has been in constant check checkmate is the purpose , by whom a good guess .
