ANIMAL KINGDOM ( 28 ) The poison

 ANIMAL KINGDOM (28) The poison
*********************************





The frightened snake is injured,
His last efforts to save the life-
Crowd is gathering around him,
 All,full of anger,hatred,and strife.

They are beating the sticks,rods,
Throwing stones,with vigilance,
 Coming near and jumping away,
'Brave' people,keeping a distance.

Unlucky son of mother- nature,
This poor crawling, coward, snake,
Why- has venom in self-defence?
What makes him so alert,awake?

He has poison in the hallow teeth,
But he never bites without a touch,
Man has poison inside the mind,
He often omits, without a crouch.

This mob is killing helpless snake,
Tomorrow, will  kill innocent men,
They will lit fire,will burn the cities,
Poison in mind, makes them insane.

Do snakes kill,for caste,color,creed?
Do they kill for hatred,faith,ego,greed?
Is the venom more poisonous than mob?
Poison in  men-can anybody read?

Mob will kill this helpless dying snake,
Will celebrate victory-entertain they can,
Will they think, snake is not their enemy-
Biggest enemy of man is the MAN.
