A Lycra hydra,
Folklore named Al Shia Eb Sawera/
Born in Eritrea
Alas! a defining moira.
Alluring Delilah
Medusa.
Clave zooid
With many heads lined
But only with one mind.
Branched like a tree of roses
Irresistible to the sense of the nose
Dragging a passer-by to come close;
Hands down exposed
Little did they know what is posed.
Once in the gullet
Remorse is too little too late.
They are done and disposed.
One hydra head
Is no different bred
To that attached with genetic thread.
