How Sudden

.. A ghastly cadaver drops, for whose noble sake? To ravish the grandeur of wildlife In the thud of night; to mangle Mother Earth's gift and its life's intent Where each tender beast moves in a flow Linking a primal, fond tie with nature’s deities… But the affinity with innocent children, its tribe Snuffed with one ruthless bang in the forest When pitiless minds become delirious… heinous A giraffe, a leopard perishes without knowing The lithe body quickly turns into a gaunt shadow, How sudden. Just like that: unable to play with birds And race with own calf or cubs along an inlet... O hollow night, O lamp of silence drained By the vicious game from predators Lusting after power...just like that And no one can tell, for whose noble sake?
