The people maintained at the bottom of the ladder will always live in uneasiness. As a result, their 'morals writhe like wounded cobras' with a venomous tongue.

Wounded Cobras are dangerous. They are out for revenge. A powerful Senryu with a strong message........A full score 10

i'll put this in May 2019's showcase. Thanks. bri :) and i'll include this 'note': " What does it mean to be called a heel? " contemptible person, " 1914 in U.S. underworld slang, originally " incompetent or worthless criminal, " perhaps from a sense of " person in the lowest position" and thus from heel "
