Unbearable
A giant panda eats leaves and shoots,
several handlers and keepers
fall to a spray of AK-47 bullets.
"Why?"
moans an elderly Chinese lady,
blood oozing from her torn body -
she had nursed him from a cub.
In a less than perfect Mandarin,
the animal replied:
"Madam, humans do not understand
how to bear an unbearable love.
Being insufferably cute
the matter has always been
a black and white issue for us.
We love to shoots first,
then we leaves."
