I know a snake with one eye

Which has some milk

And bless and curse

Instead of biting to poison

It snakes straight

Crooked and tears

Opening its victims in screams so weird

I know a snake with just an eye

An eye which sometimes serves as mouth

It opens and closes when it stands to work

Showing its fullness as it snakes back and forth

Little snakes do hide like the scared

Huge huge snakes stand still to stare

Beckoning depths which need snaking

Snake snake snake

It’s a snake snake snake

III

The snake only bites

When driven by the wicked

Tearing depths like clothes so new

Looking round to run from sticks

Because when it is up

And feels the sticks

It falls in commas so damn old

So know the snake

Know its takes

Know its ways

To choose its blessings and or curses

Just a simple Ghanaian trying to find the best in our society. I may be fun, I may be interesting, I may be funny, I may even be foolish or intelligent, but it is all based on the mood in which you find yourself. I believe our minds make us who we are. Know that, pain, no matter its 'unbearability', is transient. Unburden or delight yourself for a while in my writings please. And all corrections, advice and opinions are welcome. Know that you are the king, queen or royal on this blog. :)
