he felt I'd never flee

whom told me I was who he owned
rather than really see

whom told me I was nothing at all
and naught to be glee

I once met a snake

whom told me I was a sex object
merely worth a lowly fee

whom told me I would rot in hell
upon his decree

I once met a snake

whom told lies with rotten teeth
smelling of old pee

I once met a snake

whom told tales of virgins spent
not too very kindly

I once met a snake

whom told women mean things
that was his key

I once met a snake

whom told himself the worst
innocence lost is he

I once met a snake

whom told his heart to stop
beating lovingly

I once met a snake

whom told the broken child
to wander fearfully

I once met a snake

whom told all he did blind
live in fear like me

I once met a snake

whom told love to hide
shadow cast clearly

I once met a snake

who told the sin to only he
whom mattered firstly.
