in memory of #24
in loving memory of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi
Mamba.
Impossibly human.
The bite, the strike, the temperament
When threatened, the mamba comes out
Strike, strike, strike, strike
The mamba is relentless
His venom coursing through the veins
Of his foolish challengers
His coal black eyes, hungry
Defeating, intimidating, vicious
The mamba bite is always fatal
For he has no antivenin to defeat him
No mortal power can wither him
To the dust.
Strike, strike, strike, strike
The common name of the snake
Is given to no common man
Only the fastest, most protective,
most aggressive,
Tallest, biggest, lethal-est snake
Belongs to the man with the biggest, lethal-est presence.
Strike, strike, strike, strike
The crown of the kingdom sits
Comfortably atop his temples
Strike, strike, strike, strike
How fitting
The world's deadliest player
Be called after
The world's deadliest snake.
