Dear Snake


Dear Snake,

Don't bite the foot,
Don't kill your largest prey,
Show foot your fangs,
Let foot find prey for you,
Live with foot,
Rule foot,
Teach foot,
Aid foot,
When you can no longer find your own prey,
Foot will bring prey too you,
By then you will love foot,
Foot will only respect you,
Rarely loving you,
Because you are snake,
The epitome of mankind,
Of humanity,
Both snake and foot,
Because you were foot before your predecessor, snake.
