Snakes In Your Head
Blame for the omission,
guilt for thought unsaid,
shame for the attrition place snakes in your head.
Blame for the condition,
guilt for pathway tread,
shame for the position place snakes in your head.
Blame for the deception,
guilt for choosing dread,
shame for the exception place snakes in your head.
Blame for the direction,
guilt for stitching thread,
shame for the rejection place snakes in your head.
Blame for the predation,
guilt for countless dead,
shame for the sensation place snakes in your head.
Blame for the rendition,
guilt for hearsay spread,
shame for the ambition place snakes in your head.
