- the Black Mamba -

The dark factor ... copying and distorting the truth
                                           - Black Mamba -
                               when it bites, it bites several times

                                 Moral and questionable behavior
                                        An unscrupulous thief
                             
                         ... regret, provides the opportunity for change
                             your profit is of little value or significance

- "Slimy humans" are not easy to avoid, Phyllis ... but Black Mamba: the chance to meet it, is very small :) - Many thanks for visiting and your comments :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

The most venomous, dark, sinister, deadly poisonous creature alive - but there are humans who would also fit this description - wonderful clever write but despicable creatures all of them. Hugs, Jenny.

What an ugly creature this is, great to use for a metaphor it bears a striking resemblance to some who have crossed my life’s path! Good write :) hugs

Deep and compelling, Anne-Lise. What a horrible creature the black mamba is. (Had to look it up. Thought it was an insect, but it's a snake.) Predators who bite "several times" are especially frightening though this snake's venom could do the trick with one bite. Awesome work, Anne Lise! Hugs, Carolyn

It can run you down and go up to 4 ft or more...injecting large amounts of venom...for sure it's deadly...if provoked
