Potential Enemy Poem by Tony Adah

Snakes don't bite
By showing you their dentures
They just bite.
Little infant ones
Don't bite yet
We have but no reason
To nurture them
Bigger their heart gets with time
More bitter their venom
Gets with age.
Spare them now
And postpone your doomsday.
A snake is not
Amongst the animals
They say, ' save an animal
And it will go but save
A human being
He will kill you '.
That's the way
My eyes look forty five degrees
To the east
Where missiles and bombs
Mix up with the human race.
