The Other Us
The other us is
The snakes, which are
The worms that live in
Our intestines.
The snakes, the other us, need
The bacteria, which are
The environmental helpers, to live in
Our intestines.
The snakes, the other us, need
The bugs that are their evil messengers.
The ones they fear the most while living in
Our intestines.
The snakes call us
The temple, shells, and machines. We are
The snakes' mobile vehicles while they live in
Our intestines.
The bugs knock at the doors of
The temple, us, by injecting poisons,
The instructors of the evil snakes living in
Our Intestines.
The bugs enter the shells through
The nose, ears, eyes, and other body entrances
The evil messengers of the snakes in
Our intestines.
The bugs never bring good news and
The snakes deliver chemicals that cause
The heart to skip a bit, their evil job in
Our intestines.
The snakes cause us depression,
The snakes cause us anxiety.
The snakes cause us fear while living in
Our intestines.
The snakes usurp our identity
The snakes makes themselves
The other us and rule our emotion from
Our intestines.
The snakes, if successful in
The mission of destroying the host gets
The heavenly reward when they leave
Our intestines.
The offspring of the snakes, is assured
The craving place of heaven and
The eternal life for job well-done from
Our intestines.
The other us doesn't care about us.
The Eternal life for them is
The most important. We are killed from
Our intestines.
