Tourist attraction

As I sit still in the still vehicle looking at the water hole with sure expectation, once through binoculars and again with normal gaze, there was sudden movement as a herd of deer approached the water hole. So far masked in dry reeds, a spotted tawny live-spring sprung to action. Even before I could shift my gaze from normal to binocular and back to normal again, a young deer hung in the cheetah’s panting mouth. As she carried away her food to her waiting family, the herd bent down as one, to graze proper. Wild Day’s business, but the tourist noise didn’t die down. Ashamed at barging in, I felt more sad than being excited. Something dawned on me at that moment, I decided not to be a tourist again. a death to feed some hunting to live to raise own before brash lenses

I understand the unsettling feeling. Something has to die in order for some else to live. Still, we'd rather not have to see it

Yes it is. Some human behavior is unacceptable, when it comes to Nature. This poem is about my true experience. I appreciate your kind visit and words. Thank you dear poet.
