Breastfeeding a Snake
Adam and Eve, God created
Things and animals, He made
Good are some, bad are others
Like parents, children hardly behave
Costly is making a child grow
But strongly, mothers hope
The child will grow certainly
To become responsible
To feed children, mothers sacrifice
For true love they have for humanity
But when they grow mature,
Abel and Cain, they change into
Dangerous children’s prongs become
For breast and courage offered to Cain
Energy and time vanished ungratefully
But the motherly heart rests unbothered
