Surrounded by Serpents

My spirit roils and seethes in endless contempt<br/> Trespasser, perpetrator, transgressor<br/> A beguiling artifice encrusted in Epicurean desire<br/> Detractor, villifier, disparager<br/> Surrounded by serpents (I Am!)<br/> Surrounded by serpents<br/> <br/> Rising! Rising!<br/> In your condemnation, my spirit hath arose<br/> Preaching! Preaching!<br/> In evangelical pride, the fabrication you spoke<br/> Beseeching! Beseeching!<br/> My conviction, a burning effigy in your name<br/> <br/> (I Am!) Aristarch! I have become what you were to me<br/> (I Am!) Chastised! Castigated for a sacrifice I did not repent<br/> (I Am!) A truth! Collapsed into a clenched fist<br/> (I Am!) Venom! I shall become thy holy serpents’ poison<br/> <br/> (Which resides within your heart)<br/> <br/> A zealot’s wreckage conspicuously swathed as virtue signalling<br/> Perjurer, equivocator, pretender<br/> Surrounded by serpents (I Am!)<br/> Surrounded by serpents<br/> <br/> Hatred! Hatred!<br/> Through your revulsion, I have overcome<br/> Sacred! Sacred!<br/> Flagellated upon thine self-serving cross<br/> Fated! Fated!<br/> <br/> For a justified proclamation, I am damned<br/> Drowning in your serpents’ grasp I may be<br/> Wrongfully punished for I would not prostrate<br/> Would not yield or submit at your temple of conceit<br/> Now taste the vengeful steel of my conviction<br/> <br/> Send thy holy serpents’, for I am their venom<br/> Which shall reside within your heart for all time<br/> Slowly corroding your insides, as your vicious lies<br/> Collapse around you as a clenched fist prevails<br/> <br/> I Am!<br/> The hypoxia as your brain’s starved of air<br/> I Am!<br/> The poison which constricts your heart<br/> I Am!<br/> The necrosis that eats at your flesh<br/> I Am!<br/> The festering tumour in your bones<br/> I Am!<br/> The darkness that extinguishes the light in your eyes<br/> I Am!<br/> The oblivion that awaits<br/> I Am!
