Slaying the Senseless

I've been enclosing this ravenous, scornful snake
safely away in a cave guarded by white stones.
He is held cruelly there for humanity's sake
so that he may not strip them down right to their bones.

But lately I've been thinking that it's more humane
to set him free to devour a corpse bit by bit,
for he only chooses those with a barren brain
which he playfully calls "survival of the wit".

So the only way to keep this serpent away
is simply to display the snake some common sense,
but this so called common notion is scarce today
and I'm sickened...so let the massacre commence.
