Love Poem: Breastfeeding a Snake

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
