Cut the head from the snake
And watch the body die
But a snake
Is a single organism
And pure
Of hatred and spite
The human condition
Is a snake with no head
Or many
And while the body withers
It does not die
It sneers
And seeks another target
It is schizophrenic by nature
At once laughing
Then crying
Then grinding it’s teeth
It argues even when it knows it is wrong
It fears
Everything
