A Question
When a poisonous snake lifts its head to bite
Doesn't it look like a question mark?
However, human beings still can't
Answer any questions of snakes
Inevitably
Human beings have such a mysterious relationship with snakes
My mother says---
Some human beings are more dangerous
Than the snakes
Thousands die with their one bite
Indeed
People should learn from the snakes
How can they unpoison themselves from the curse?
