A snake that slithers in the grass
you've had it all your life
Many years ago,
the snake was a welcome pet
However during a feed,
it rose up and sank its teeth in your flesh
A near death experience,
and along I came wagging my tail
You fed me sporadically,
more worried about your own matters
But I was always there,
to curl up beside you in times of need
The snake remained in the grass,
waiting to strike again
One morning I awoke,
and there you were beside the snake
It showed true then and there,
you were a snake yourself
All of its movements you imitated,
all of its orders you followed
So I trotted off into the forest,
Once again a stray
I'm not sure which is more tragic,
you imitating it...
or me caring...

It is said the Creator has taken a handful of South Wind and given each newborn Arabian the power of flight without wings
