Like a python he slithers upon the land of your body,
Looking for an entrance to the nest of your brain,
Where he can lay venimous eggs of deception,
In hopes that they will hatch into poisonous lies that you will adopt as your own,
Raising them up as thoughts of self destruction in your life,
Becoming murderers of your visions,
Eventually killing all of your dreams,
And aborting your destiny,
Beware!

Good Job Tye, ken
Gone Girl! I wonder where this derived from.... lol.
This is very insightful Tye. Eve learned all about this guy in the Garden of Eden. A great piece!
Why is this python-like creature a he, Tye? Don't put it all on us males ....... Just Kidding! But seriously wondering if "he" goes more through the ears or the eyes? I guess both, huh? And this isn't a personal acquaintance all the time, it can be a celebrity or somebody who's supposed to be a leader or a cleric, so "he" might look more like a butterfly than a python until the deed is done. Am I on track?
Wow, your words are very wonderful..
Been there...Its not a pretty place.
