Snake In The Grass Poem by Oyekake Satty (O S) Joshua - Amopho

Snake In The Grass



Come not to play on this grass
Cast not thy innocence here
Beneath this hidden danger
Within this surface beauty
There is no safe place here
Underneath these hidden fangs.

Come not to play on this grass
Cast not thy innocence here
Beneath this camouflage
Guard thy feet within this green
Unlace not thy steel toe boots
Tread carefully on this grass
