Analysis of Hidden Snakes



Constricting pythons of unholy devastation,
choking asphyxiation, no more breath of clean air.
Fill the lungs of impurity with the toxic fumes of sulfuric fear.
Misery and torment will be all they bear.
Hypocritical nuisance, don't pledge a promise you know you cannot keep,
Lest ye be a slithering viper, poisoning the fields of lost sheep.
Tempting them with the venom of carnal desire, destruction sets its course for those placed within the fire.
Vile.
Slaughtering innocence of peace and tranquility
Tribulation for those snakes of inequity.
Blamed for the lost goodness of faithful and obedient servants of the the eternal hope.
Crippling all that is worthy of a true home.
Never lose your life by your own hand
If they decide to take it from you, their plans of vanity will be revealed. Amen.
