THE FLYING SNAKE
Have you ever seen
The flying-snake?
Guess! What?
It is a fighter plane.
With dwarf pilot
In his helmet
Once he is in mid-air
He seems to forget
His fellow creatures
He drops and drops
A hell of bombs
To wipe out
The poor souls
Of course.....
The helpless and defenseless!
Alas! The pilot
Cannot feel pity
For his victims
As long...
As their pain
Their wound
Their anguish
Are beyond his visual reach.
