Mr snake


I see the fear in your eyes

You see the fear in my eyes

You advance towards me

I travel, quickly backwards

Your weapon is a deadly bite

Mine is a kitchen knife

Evil grows in you

Hate for you, in me

I see death very near

You rejoice, prey, in your heart

I cry like a child

You’re ever still indifferent 

My eyes sing a plea

The only noise from you is zapping in the bushes

The end is near

Our time has come

A battle line is drawn

Boxing gloves are won

A winner shall come forth

I stand no chance

Snake embrace me

Kiss me till I feel no more

You’re unmerciful

You’re unkind

True that He gave me dominion over you

Yet you prance on me

Goodbye my enemy

Goodbye Mr. Snake

For today, I shall see you no more

Goodbye Mr. Snake

Winner I am

My knife feels your blood

A common kitchen knife

My hand feels victory

Truly Mr. Snake, I have dominion over you.

Leave death's wealth


He raised his hat

Picked his umbrella

Shook the dust of his feet

He smiled at the sun

And briskly walked out healthy as apples

Before him, the people watched in awe

A paper was brought out

A will was read

Yes he is gone

Dead and gone

He’s left a house with us

He’s left some cars

More unimaginable money

A fleet of sheep

Lands all over

Now, let us spend and merry

Yes he’s gone

Dead and gone

We may tear our pants

Remove our bras

Dance naked

Yet share the dead’s belongings

Only because he is dead

Dead and gone

We may argue

Hurt each other

Kill each other eventually

Remove our brains

Act senselessly

The reason being wealth from a source

The source being a dead man’s pocket

Lets now remember

We’ll die too

And yes, we shall be but dead and gone

Dead and gone without wealth
