Scorpio

A scorpion with her stinger cut
Is not a real scorpion at all.
An eight legged insect
A spider
Spinning in her web.

A scorpion with her stinger cut
Is nothing fierce at all.
No real danger to those around her.
Might as well roll
and expose
Her soft belly.
Trapdoor spider bait.

A hyena with a pickaxe.
No one believed her then,
No one believes her now.
It's no strange twist of fate.

A scorpion with her stinger cut:
Self inflicted suicide.
Still she walks along
Holding delicate pose,
Strikes naught but miss.
Poison gone.
All falls on deaf ears.

A scorpion with her stinger cut
Is not a threat at all.
