Ourobos



In the beginning was the end,

And the end was in the beginning,

The serpent

Temptation,

The tree of knowledge,

Eve and evil,

The serpent puts its tail in its mouth,

It tempts itself

It desires understanding,

Understanding is the end,

It pursues that which it desires.


In the beginning was the word,

And the word was with God,

And the serpent knows this,

And hates the word.

In the beginning the word was satisfaction,

In the end

The word was destruction,

The serpent seeks satisfaction in destruction,

The serpent bans the word,

But the word is understanding

Understanding brings satisfaction,

The serpent tempts itself 

Holding out the possibility of understanding,

In its tail,

The serpent pursues that which it desires,

It desires that which it offers itself

It tempts itself with the notion,

Comprehension brings satisfaction,

It swallows the notion,

Swallows its tail,

Comprehension brings destruction.
