~ Venomosity… ~ 

(Here’s an attempt to analyse the venomous nature of humans and snakes.The poem explores the human’s artificial facade and the snake’s natural behaviour. The ‘human-snakes’ don multiple layered masks, hiding behind the mastery of deception, having a much more lethal bite…!)

☆

I’ve witnessed many a serpents

sloughing their skin,

Yet humans, donning faces,

prove more deadly within
*
But the conundrum remains

as to who’s more venomous?
*
The human-snakes wearing

multiple layered masks,

Or a wild snake, living in jungle,

playing its role of nature’s tasks!
