Dracula Moon...

In the shadows of the moon hides the ancient reptile,
Blood-starved eyes watching, biding its time,
Just waiting for you to make a mistake,
Any mistake will do...

Why?
I’ve asked myself the question a thousand times,
Why does the reptile prey upon us?
After all, it has everything, and I mean everything,
All the material wealth belongs to it,
All the lands, all the gold, all the silver, the brain-washing tool, ooops, I mean the ‘entertainment media’,
Why? Why? Why does the ancient reptile prey on us,
Hiding in the silhouette of its own Dracula moon?

I don’t at all claim to know the answers,
But one thing I do know,
The reptile knows nothing of pure, mother-love,
The reptile knows nothing of authentic friendship,
The reptile knows nothing of the joy of serving a fellow-being,
The reptile knows nothing about authentic peace of mind,
Thus, bereft of love, joy, and peace,
It literally tries in vain, to vicariously usurp what it can via preying on the innocents...

Hi, Earlgreytea,
The reptile knows nothing of ... And, though knowing little of the reptile, we keep our mother-love, friendships and joy of serving close to the heart, holding onto innocence, in a quest for peace of mind. Thank you for Dracula Moon's light.

very interesting EGT, probably not that far from the truth of the matter either. taking a large corp/reptile grin as an entity - it is headless, no family or loyalty and does grow/feed on those of us that do, preying on our insecurities and needs.

Annukai or just souls yet to learn oneness? They may be serving the light in term of the 'elastic band effect'.
