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...
