Beware of the serpents.

You have my word...

But in a world contorted

By lies leaked from

serpents mouths...

What does that really entail?

''Beware of your leaders,

Bearing their false gifts.''

But what have they given us?

Freedom?

Hope?

Truth?

We wish for these but the day

Where we receive them, is not today.

All we can truly hope for,

Is that our kin,

of this beautiful world,

Find a way to contain the disease,

For we are already infected...
