this serpent
continues to follow me
through the brushes
the forests
the desert heat
"why do you follow me?"
"why do you let me?"
he calmly replies
why do i listen?
to the serpent in my ear?
"destroy! destroy!"
his forked tongue sings
"consume, overpower, everything is yours
everything for the taking"
he continues on
why do i listen?
its horrid!
i continue to listen
despite my knowing
this should not be true
"destroy, conquer, and consume"
and foolishly
pridefully
i believe
(i'm sorry).
