The
Moral of the Snake
Glistening
on the grass half awake
She
exclaimed "Pretty" let me take you home!"
She
took the snake in as Jaya often felt alone
Her
friends did warn her not to take in a snake
Saying,
"A snake is a snake, it know only to take
Jaya
never listened, just happy someone was with her
Soon
in time, the snake took over
The
palace doors were locked and Jaya's music died
She
sat alone with no real friends and often cried
The
snake snuffed out the very meaning of life
Now, Jaya tried to throw the snake out
But
the snake entwined into her soul like a knife
She
could not throw her out, no matter what she did
The
snake stuck on, and Jaya lost her grit
After
many years, Jaya became very ill
And
the snake never let anyone in
One
night, when Jaya was very weak
The
snake gave her a venomous bite
Jaya died without a fight
Jaya died without a fight
People
know Jaya's life went for a bad swing
When Jaya first let the snake in
The
snake kept all the people a-bay
Most
of her close friends were thrown away
In
death ,a deeper mystery shrouds Jaya today
People
realize everything went wrong
When
that snake came to stay
If
you know it's a snake, never let it in
Or
it will stick close to you, skin to skin
And
soon keep you in a caged prison
Because
if evil lives in your home too long
In
time, it will become a tradition!
By then, it's too late to quell its derision
In time, life fades away as in a vision.
By then, it's too late to quell its derision
In time, life fades away as in a vision.
Old Proverb: A cow drinks
water and it turns to milk
A
snake drinks water
And
it turns to poison
