The Way of the Serpent

Hissing sounds from a cleft tongue A vexed sinister creation Sliding slowly from side to side In the shadow of vegetation The way of the serpent Coiled to defeat The way of the serpent The circle is complete! With spiteful intention, ready to cowardly attack Blending with the background, lurking behind the back Sneaking up without a sound From the deepest hole in the ground The way of the serpent Coiled to defeat Staring deep into its eyes As the fangs flash and spike the flesh Filled with pain and numbness Venomous saliva, death's caress
