SNAKE
For Real Poetic's One Year Anniversary Challenge!
A snake you say I am -
Not a woman or an innocent lamb,
Neither a citizen or a thinking being -
Ignorant to my well-being.
Very often I ponder:
Eve's role that was squandered -
Righteous morality told through the first sin,
Sex that is sold as lesser than other kin.
Arbitrary beliefs held by men
Regurgitated time and again -
Yielding their lies only when the fangs descend.
