The Curse Holds True

THE CURSE HOLDS… So today I crossed paths with a serpent In fact not me but my sibling She was scared out of her wits by it So me she summoned to face the enemy With diligence of one summoned to a Biblical duty I responded After all Jonah was punished for evading such a calling I shudder at the thought of four days in the bowels of a fish Armed with a stick and backed by my sibling’s tidings I approach the corner Where the enemy lays coiled Startled at my approach it brings out its head Then the words of the Holy book come to my mind That off springs of the woman shall crush the heads of the serpents’ off springs So I did my part, I crushed the head The curse indeed holds true... Hope I shall crush the heads without my heel being bitten The curse holds true.
