The Split Tongue Serpent
The serpent's tongue is poisonous and fortified by a devious conscious.
The Venomous lies drips from this serpent's lips and breaks and blind the righteous mind of some and placate the sinful minds of others.
His slippery tongue is sharpened by the fears of the deaf, the weak, and the ignorant.
In his self-exalted mien, he has only but one loyalty and that is to himself.
Greed and power crown's his head.
The poor and the suffering are his meals.
Diversity holds no honor with him.
On his way to make claims on an empire, he leaves a slimy trail of fraud and deceit.
If he succeeds, a cry of the righteous will be strong.
