I GET MYSELF STUNG

 I GET MYSELF STUNG

I get myself stung

By huge snakes

So that  they 

Get emancipated 

( Though only momentarily)

 From their venom.

With the wish that 

Some part of my ambrosia

Reaches throat of their

Upcoming generation too.

May be it secures change 

In their coming generation 

And they transform into venom less beings

 Full of ambrosia..
