Raw Poetry by Rev. Shakes Spear
Snakes Dressed As Saints
So what? You’re just going to give your love away
to a Devil selling schemes?
Just like that, you trade your truth
for a baggie full of dreams?
You spill your spit, your cum, and your blood
and somehow claim you’re the victor?
Man, your bride was alive
but she got swallowed by pride
of the snakes dressed as saints
who so easily tricked her.
