Love Poem: Little Mamba

Little Mamba

How not to steal from a mamba
That came to your house
To check on your children
How a little snake mamba
Comes in like robin hood
Asking children
Have you eaten anything good we can share
Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim
And maybe a little portion of food
Left for him everyday
Even in your thoughts 
And blessing from God
The Little mamba moves away
Singing dancing
I’ve enchanted them all
To give a little to time and thought
To animals on this earth
Living and struggling for food
