the black snake


The black snake hides
Back to its hole of darkness
He has tasted defeat
He runs with his skin intact

The dogs and cats
Chasing the black snake
Watching its every movement
Waiting to catch him for good

Though the black snake stays low
He still crawls discreetly out from his cave
Luring the innocents to his calling
Blaming the heat and the trappers

Though at times he makes statements
He carries no weight but a sorry state
Of his life on the run waiting to be caught
By the dogs and the cats on the look out

The black snake hides
In the darkest pit of shame
Afraid to show losing in defeat
Counting the days, he will be in the cage
