Considering the Snakes

Perhaps being personified as sneaky caused resent Being likened to the devil, a deceitful serpent. Being hard to see and greeting near ankles made people wary Their blending complexion and fangs protect, not always meaning to be scary. Proud of its power and trying to survive Yet mocked due to lack of feet, brought snake's rage alive. Instincts ignite as humans build over habitats, but the snake chooses no weeping Can you at least relate to anger when woken from sleeping. Go out in the wild, see its way of life, but not too hither See it kill when necessary otherwise peacefully slither. Needing to size up food, it was judged for playing with prey Who cares for the snakes? Even in sun life seems grey. So when a snake is in your yard, do as you must But remember they didn't ask for an unfair life, choose to be just.

Did you write all your poems, on the same day? You can write well. But you need to stop rushing your poems. A good poem can take months, even years.
