The Immortal Ouroboros

 


Press play before reading. Salute 



(A lone voice whispers)


With eager eyes wide open 


Hearing faint whispers of hidden doorways and portals 


Ritualistically been opened 

To a place and time 


Where rhymes are cast for a penny or dime 


In real time 


Over hallowed tambourine music  


Like church missionaries into 
The Red Country 

Offering black leather bibles 
As free gifts 


To their versions of 
Heathens 

To use it


The Immortal Ouroboros 




Consumes all who live 


Who blindly seek
What it gives 


Power 
Fame 
Or 

Greed

Through faints whispers from hidden doorways and portals 

To satisfy a temptation 
Their soul needs
