The plight of THE GARDEN snake and his prey- dj eckert

Satan, being the GARDEN snake that he is,
not only does he want to devour our eternal souls,

But Satan being the Charming snake that he is, desires to swallow up humanity whole.

he encircles the earth patiently,
methodically
rattling his tale.
Enchanting us with everything that he can surely regale

That rattling enchanting sound shakes on and on,
his prey so enchanted as if nothing is wrong

he slithers,We blither
he rattles,We prattle

Slither,blither, rattle,prattle,slither ,blither rattle,prattle!

The rattle of diversion abounds
The rattle of entertainment is it's sound
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!

The rattle of useless baubles, it smarms
The rattle of materialism is it's charm
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!

The rattle of soul searing conscience sedates
The rattle of pharmacy seduction reverberates
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!

The rattle of hopelessness it drones on
The rattle of delusion and ignorant illusion is it's song
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!

The rattle of helplessness begins
The rattle of tyrany and poverty is it's din
EN-CH-CH-CH-CH-CHANTED!

The earth under the snake's belly begins to shake and violently thunder
Reminding him of the cause of his OWN prideful blunder,
that has eternally set that lowly serpent asunder,
so he continues on with his attempted eternal plunder

STILL THE ONCOMING HOOFBEATS CONTINUE TO THUNDER!!

Slithering closer, the snake opens it's mouth wide,
On humanity he is hopeful to himself soon imbibe

BUT Like a fairy tale,
upon a white horse does the SAVIOR, a snake -slaying knight ride!

Only THIS time to gather up HIS UNenchanted Bride!
She's sinless, unblemished by the blood HE earlier shed!

After picking her up , HE stomps upon the lowly snakes head.!

Oh to be prayed upon
and not to be preyed upon!
Amen!
