Vacuity
Serpent of dark
Movement of the soul
Crawling stately
Into the heart
Stalking tiger
Eyes observant and fierce
Deep below, a yearning rises
Quest for violence
Before you find you wield devastating power
Will your face whiten and mind tremble
At the gates of transgression
Impulsive nature of cruelty
As the webbing of order tears away
So will your corruption not yet embraced
Monumental gift of liberty
From the vain civility of law and order
Gives way to true expression
Of the flesh
Of the mind
Of the human condition
