Much Ado About Antelope

The thickets were traitors,
Front and back they cut me down
Till I lost the sight of my buttery;
Gasping like blacksmith’s belows I asked: 
What flesh did antelope even have?

Sometimes in life, we need to stop and ask ourselves, is the reward worth the risk?.... Congrats on your win with this unique and thought-provoking write. Well done, Kayode!
