Strength Through Realization

The soldier stood still as a statue,
his gaze locked in place upon stone walls.
Yet snake whispers in his ear, 
telling of higher purpose.
He listened.

 

The merchants sell their goods,
their gaze locked on coin - 
Yet the snake speaks to them,
telling tales of priceless possessions.
They listened.

 

The one of nature rests in the trees,
their gaze locked on the leaves.
Yet from their idle came ambition,
the snake spoke told them of power.
He listened.

 

The snake itself rested in the cage,
it consumed the rats yet hungered for more.
And so like the others - it listened to itself,
breaking forth a deal of self-realization.
It ate the madness.

 

It consumed, eating - it grew, it watched.
From itself came raw power - not from higher nor lower beings.
The madness ran in its blood, its body. It flowed as a dam unleashed.

In this glory came a moment of silence -
Not to reflect - no - but to feel. 
The rats were granted respite, though not for long.

And so the snake called down upon the world.

 

"
Come forth preachers of imminent death.
Let loose thy shackles, let chaos reign.
Infect the arteries of man and animals alike.

"

 

So coiled around the men was the snake,
yet the true binding was the madness inside.
For there were goals to be completed -
Chaos to let free.

 

And now the beings that listened were true to their mighty selves -
Now catalysts of godhate spawned forth by the snake.
Yet powered by themselves.
