Michelo Mweetwa Poet Rhyme

I Dont Watch Lions

The wild belongs to the wild
The world belongs to the world
I stay safe and stay away
Because nature was designed that way
You can’t escape the reason why
All carnivores are so spry
An unleashed paw in your flesh
Is not worth a stroll on a lion's turf
A roar of a lion is not a buzzing house fly
It’s an unwelcome politeness, take flight
If feasting on buffalos is how they dine
Then your blood can only be dessert red wine
Don’t let your flesh invite the canines
Don’t get de-boned just for facebook likes
Lions never takes a stroll in our streets
Why should I trespass on theirs, with camera flicks?
My love for lions is a relationship from a distance
We don’t trust each other but I keep the romance

Caren Krutsinger June 13, 2018 at 12:53 AM This went straight to my FAV list. I like everything about it, especially the importance of the message. Stay away from lions if you do not want to be eaten! Michelo Mweetwa June 13, 2018 at 2:32 AM Precisely, admiration of nature should never involve interference. Thanks Caren.
