There is an old Italian legend…

“It was a sunny day
And there was something new
In the air
Mother snake was giving birth
To her seventh son
He was the last one of the nest
She was licking him
When, suddenly
The asp bit to the mother to death”

Much later
Another son, man
Bit his mother, “Nature”, to death

She gave him life
She nurtured and loved him
But he, ungratefully, like the asp
Poisoned air, water, and ground

Whilst she was dying
She even looked at him with love

Oh, poor man!
Don’t you realize that
You have bitten yourself?
