A Snake! A Snake! A Snake!

~ Frank Solanki

A snake! A snake! A snake!
A snake creeping inside of me
It could not be anything else
What else could it be?

I bit my father yesterday
Wounded my brother too
A snake! A snake! A snake!
That’s what it makes me do

They tied me up with ropes
They refuse to give me food
Oh the snake is hungry
Will it eat me up for good?

I’m hungry I am thirsty
But my family doesn’t care
A snake! A snake! A snake!
Listens to no prayer

Come a little closer brother
Mother please listen to me
Just a little sniff of blood
And I’ll sleep well you see

A snake! A snake! A snake!
It eats me from inside
A snake! A snake! A snake!
A demon by my side
