Kiss of Set <br />by Ted L Glines <br /> <br />Hear the scaly serpent hissing, <br />homicides and kids gone missing. <br />Depression moans and suicides <br />as ever onward, serpent glides, <br />weaving, striking, never missing, <br />feel his fangs in horror kissing. <br />Minds twisted, hearts mangled, <br />every crying gasp is strangled. <br />Stalking weak and frightened ghouls <br />where lust is king and darkness rules, <br />a trembling moment, crying, pleading, <br />a soul is gone, screaming bleeding. <br />The kiss of Set, forever here <br />for those who worship greed and fear. <br /> <br />Author's Notes: Set was a god of the underworld in ancient Egypt. Set had the head of a jackal. Here, for my own purpose, I have cast Set as a snake. Imagine, if you will, the ending fate, the jackpot awaiting those who bring abuse and greedy corruption and death to the table of life. Imagine this poem to be a spell which binds them to their self-willed destiny.<br /><br />Ted L Glines<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kiss-of-set/
