A Poisonous Legacy
The snake tricked Eve
A mischievous bite at humanity
The tingling of its venom still runs in my veins
Luckily my parents led me to the Antidote
But I have to consume Him constantly
Every time I think I’ve gotten every drop of poison out-
I am overpowered by its forces again.
I can’t imagine what it is like for those who have no Antidote:
Such a festering accumulation
It’s a weird poison and its effects are endless.
Sometimes it makes me weary, and my soul scrapes across the filth of the
Ground as I walk, picking up ugliness as I go along
Sometimes it makes me angry, piercing me like a puppet master to throw daggers wildly at everything I come in contact with
Sometimes it makes me haughty, and I tilt my nose away from the filth
As if I have never made filth of my own
Never has a snake had such a lasting effect on humanity
Its evil has run through the blood of nearly every human on this earth.
All but three.
And oh how they suffered, how they were treated.
But my Mother will stomp on its head
The head of the only God-forsaken serpent that slithers this earth,
Well it and its serpentine henchmen.
