Cradle of Life

I am the limb of the serpent's tree in Mesopotamia
Inundation was not just common after harvest
The teacher's pet must have slithered in for some extra credit the way he wrote the tale
Let's be honest folks, the eye of tiger is between the Tigris and the Euphrates
The cradle of life spun like a draedal on ice, between Valhalla and Hades
Let me use you, work through you, lurk to you with tent pitched intentions
Perusing your fuses, eluding confusion while the muses move my attention
Truth bruised from review, spewing tendrils of tooth, twisting and twining penchants
Scratching synaptic collapse on papyrus, perhaps a deity will define your descendants
Circles of celestial certainty, faith forming fragile bands
Pressing on to ember alters, burning sacrificial lambs
Smells of singed flesh and skin mesh with what the Gods demand
Pick your poison from the noise, use only what you understand
Saturating breath baking inhibitions
Letting libido influence decisions
Sweating, heavy hums and vibrant visions
Screaming vanity like sin and sanity suffered collision
Warping worship to warships destined for coordinates
Playing pastor in the pasture to the flock of subordinates
Abhorring whores by the score, courtesans questing ordinance
Spreading love spread eagle spreads the wealth; you've lost the poor to this

The lips of legislators laden with jaded fact
Dividing riot acts from silent pacts
Cuneiform concepts conceived from naught but black
I felt mistook as we built a rook in the fertile nook of Iraq
Like if this was the line that defined the good book,
Then I'm glad the shook took it back
Usurping unity, utilizing it's steam
Disturbing youth in impunity, uncouth and unclean
Suburbing truth in the booth and making it gleam
Bourbon soaked curb demons croak under the broken yoke of your dream
A token loc "hella stoked" off puff and toke and a tug and choke of lean
Recommending regular haters instead of regulators
Pandora popped the box top and so we relegate her
We heard the herd was perturbed so we elevated the fader
Salivated on hatred and malieated the maker
