The Serpent Tradition
As we learned from the past, as has been foretold
a great serpent from the sea arrived on these shores
above the mast of a great ship
like a forked serpent's tongue
the pennant swiftly flapped on the east horizon
an omen of disease and great despair,
as it was foretold
they prophesied a sign of sorrow and ruined lifes from a distant land
with eyes so wide
they saw them arrive with eyes so wide
fearful of the warning
war is waged - their sole intent

to pierce the heart of akamon
from east to west, thousands fall to endless war and plagues
the wisdom of these ancient men, centuries ago
to have known of this prophecy, this serpentine curse
otomien wept as the ships came into view
knowing that the serpent tradition was true
to see through the fog of wars
to smell the scourge of plagues
to perish in winter frost
to tread through this life with black legs
