African Watering Hole
African watering hole is a spiritually sacred spot
there is an understood truce when the animals appear
ancestral ancient spirits keep watch and peace
over cranes, zebras, tigers, gulls and giraffes
tigers, tigers, cobras and mosquitoes are welcome
none would dare tear apart an animal here or give them malaria
father lion is watching as is mother ape and brother python
African watering hole is a spiritually sacred spot
