The lonely wild beast
The wild beast roams alone,
Not so long ago did it have many friends,
It remembers the times they shared,
But all that came to an end,
After one fateful day.
Its friends had an argument,
An argument really bad,
All this the crocodiles noticed,
And pounded on their victims,
One by one.
They all survived,
But blamed the wild beast,
It could not defend itself,
Because its prey saw the argument first,
Informing the others they had a feast.
Its friends decided to leave,
Far away to the other side of the lake,
Leaving the wild beast alone,
With no friends,
But itself.
The wild beast tried to follow them,
And apologize for something it didn't do,
But its prey attacked it,
And it remained behind,
With no one else but itself.
