🐉🐲🎪L-Y-R-I-C-S 🎡🧨🐍👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼🏔️ 🎧Listen to this, and hear the mystery inside: 🏔️A snake-catcher went into the mountains to find a snake. 😽He wanted a friendly pet, and one that would amaze 🐍audiances, but he was looking for a reptile, something 🫥that has no knowledge of friendship. 🥶It was winter. ❄️In the deep snow he saw a frighteningly huge dead snake. 🙅🏻‍♂️He was afraid to touch it but he did. 🤦🏻‍♂️In fact, he dragged the thing into Baghdad, 💰hoping people would pay to see it 🫨This is how foolish ⛰️we’ve become! A human being is a mountain range! 🐍Snakes are facinated by us! Yet we sell ourselves 🫥to look at a dead snake. 🥻We are like beautiful satin 🐲used to patch burlap. “Come see the dragon I killed, 📣and hear the adventures!” That’s what he announced, 👯‍♀️and a large crowd came, 🐉but the dragon was not dead, 🥱just dormant! (Devi reacts with a hissy macabre cackle) 🛣️He set up his show at a crossroads. 😱The ring of gawking rubes got thicker, everybody 🤴on tiptoe, men and women, noble and peasant, all ☯️packed together unconscious of their differences. 👼It was like the Resurrection! (Devi, sarcastically)— “Just like it” 🪢He began to unwind the thick ropes and remove 🎁the cloth covering he’d wrapped it so well in. 💃Some little movement. (Devi whistles to imply movement) 🌞The hot Iraqi sun had woken 🙀the terrible life. The people nearest started screaming. 🤤Panic! The dragon tore easily and hungrily 😵loose, killing many instantly. 🥅The snake-catcher stood there, 😨frozen. “What have I brought out of the mountains?” The 🐍snake 🌆braced against a post and crushed the man and consumed 🫣him. 🌀The snake is your animal-soul. When you bring it 😵‍💫into the hot air of your wanting-energy, warmed 🛥️by that and by the prospect of power and wealth, 🦫it does massive damage. 👍🏼Leave it in the snow mountains. (Devi adds an authoritative “OK?”) 🤫Don’t expect to oppose it with quietness 🧞‍♂️and sweetness and wishing. ⛑️The nafs don’t respond to those, 🚣‍♂️and they can’t be killed. It takes a Moses to deal 🧿with such a beast, to lead it back, and make it lie down ❓in the snow. But there was no Moses then. 🥀Hundreds of thousands died. (Devi hums a tune only one diagnosed with certifiable madness would hum after such a stark visual message) (Devi reaffirms listeners to indeed “leave it (the animal soul) in the snow mountains”) 🐍END🐍
