The Longest One Sided Game

The temple bells resonate all around
Priests prepare for divine meal
recite the mantras of yore again
from deep inside a well, a serpent sneaks!

the needful ones amass
the mantras and bells get louder and louder
clouds of metal surround the atmosphere
the serpent stealthily creeps!

'Remember the Lord and hear this...'
if you watch closely you can see them literally shiver.
the priests stare into each others' eyes
They can feel the serpents presence.

'We will ward off that beast',
the head priest yells aloud
'You will finally enjoy your meals tonight'
but he knows the serpent is the reason he is alive!

Suddenly,
black clouds and thunder greet the observers
the serpent permeates through out the air.
'Do not look towards him',
the head priest angrily orders...
'I have eaten your Lords meat
now I have become your sole saviour
Yes I have eaten raw your Gods meat! '

Everyone close their eyes and bow
they blindly listen to the hymns
the bells, the chanks...
No one dares to look up towards the serpent
they trust on priests to ward off that impending beast.

If just one had dared to look up towards the sky
He would see the reality of the serpents eye.
The serpent is not at all there to maim
It just wants to expose the priest's game!
