feed the snake



did you feed the snake today
he’s sliding down that tree again
forkéd tongue that senses prey
the fattened mice, the worst of men

chase the jackals from the fields
let the snake attack the horde
shoo the vultures, let them bleed
the gluttonous rich, the power whores

entice the snake to the marbled homes
pollute the scented groins of wealth
with insect larvae and rodent bones
and watch as evil devours itself
