Fear

She's a viper of souls
A long slim black-hearted disaster
Feeling her way underneath
Tasting the very breath released
Flicking her licking to liking
A heart throbbing disliking.

Slithering onto skin
She breeds religion
Taking her piece
Her dark eyes perceive
Deeper than belief.

Coiled around the vitals of life
Disguised between lies
Her hisses sooth where none can feel
Ever, so ever, becoming real.

Her gentle grip conveniences sin
Requesting holy communion
Promising a paradise garden
A product of the only begotten.

Her venomous presence cohorts
With everything you enjoy
Until you can no longer see
She has thrust her fangs in peace.

"God has risen" she'll confess
While bending to address.
Revelation her representation
Teasing belief a Christ will save them.

Demented from divine
Obsessed with song and rhyme
Gospel filling minds,
Her sermons remind.

Religion of fools in delight
As they seek godly light
A byproduct of her poison
They all hope to rejoice in.

Religion! O religion!

The seeds you have grown
For the viper to dwell overblown
A holy kingdom, dethroned
By her work alone

God never laid rest to his best
Forgiving even his darkest child
For he is the master of all
Even mankind's greatest fall.
