Serengeti

The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains 
              A pride of lions 
Hunting under the cover 
                    Of darkness 
         Their keen senses 
    Heightened and alert 
And with excellent night vision 
          The lions infiltrate
     A herd of wildebeest 
Huddled together against the night 
            Against the lions 
Against the ripping claws 
          And piercing teeth 
And isolate a young calf
That becomes easy prey 
For the hungry lions, 
The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains...

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
