Legend of a Serpent Mind

by HopefulxRomantic   Jun 3, 2007


Despise me, wretched malcontent,
Your anger shan't abate,
I'll show you endless wonders and
Pinnacles of your hate.

Cast down your childish china doll,
And let him cry alone,
He's strengthening his palling hands,
So called, if you were stone.

Yet soon, so soon, abhorrent ape,
He'll shoot you in your tracks,
And leave the spurning man to rot,
To take up army pacts.

Behold, trench-dwelling death machine,
That you bore from your seeds.
And emulates your sore demise,
The macabre deeds he needs.

Machines do rust with time, they say,
As did your brainwashed ape.
He roamed the land to make his heir,
With tricks, with lies, with rape.

And filth begets the spawn of filth,
Ay, this bloodstained sword shan't sheathe,
For generations yet to come,
Enter on stage, the thief.

The thief begat the prostitute,
The _____ begat the fighter,
The thug begat the perjurer and
The liar bore the blighter.

And so it goes in such a way,
That holds true to your name.
You're dead now but your legend lives,
To bring regret and shame.

Beast, are you satisfied,
With your abandoned spawn,
Victor, such ironic name,
Son of Mary, so forlorn.

Despise me, wretched malcontent,
Your anger shan't abate,
I'll show you endless wonders and
Pinnacles of your hate.

And yet, you cannot banish me,
Through furtive countenance,
I am the ruin of your name,
Your sinful conscience.

    If I said I loved this poem I would be lying. I honestly cannot stop reading it. I've already sent it to many of my friends and family on e-mail and everyone wrote back asking me to tell you that they loved it. But like I said, I do not love it. It's so powerful that I simply cannot get enough of it. VERY well done. (Just to make sure you understand, I mean I love it more than loving it...Duh.)

    Alas, after a world-weary and secular dry spell, I managed to conjure up this piece from, shall we say, macabre recesses of my mind.

    This poem is about how the mind encourages us to sin, against our name, our souls and our bodies, beit through neglect, murder (however organised, it's still murder), theft, sexual degradation, violence, perjury or trickery. These things blight the 5 guides to life, and so will condemn ancestors to shame.

    Still, it was fun to put into words.

    Love any comments!
