stealthily stalking
   grasses of gold disguise him....
      serengeti king

streaks of black and white
   pounding out panic's pursuit....
       dusty clouds of fear

weaklings fall away
   struggle vainly to survive....

The lion gently lies down upon the grass 
With great caution he surveys the vast plains ahead of him
What will he have for his noonday snack?
What will he have for breakfast tomorrow too?
He spots a hyena and a resting zebra
He contemplates the two choices…

"tsk…tsk…tsk…eenie, meanie,...

Driving through the Serengeti plains
twilight started to fall over the land
Then in the blink of an eye night falls
no slow fading of light just darkness

The full moon comes out and reveals
the sky awash with rainbows of colour
all left behind by the glowing setting sun
bathing all...

Across the green Serengeti land, don't you know
A big road is being built to carry the filth
O where will the wide beasts now go, ever go
Shall we speak, shall we speak or die in guilt? 

Cho.
O mother, I cannot sleep
Don't you know night and is...

The rains in fall on the Serengeti lands
It's impending approach is in natures plans
From barren to lush bringing droplets of pure
Seasonal they are, but will it remain her renewing cure

For we treat her lands so bad, so mean we don't console
Will we ever understand to...

If you should ever come to visit me
I want you to be ready,
For the view that I have right outside my room
of the plains of the Serengeti.

From my window I can view
some of nature’s most exotic creatures,
A sampling that it seems is so unique
each comes...

PLAIN SERENGETI


Zebra herds nudge babes along
Low slung sun burns shaded eyes
Shallow pools hide fish from hawks
          Peace of Paradise

The night 
        African 
             Wild
On the Serengeti plains

a stampede of memories flood the plain
fearful of the hidden assassin
that time itself reveals

their skins, thick with the dead
callous accusations and conversations
aired frequently in public

brambles envelop them, ripping flesh
but the stalker waits silently
until enough blood has been spilled...

in the middle of the Serengeti I fell asleep one day
hoping wildebeests and cheetahs were far away
eyes dared me to wake up, and I was scared for a minute
but then I saw the giraffes, and saw the fun in it.

They formed a rescue posse, and...

staring at a stereo
in the Serengeti
Sarah getting stir crazy
gotta get out of this ghetto
Sarah saw a
chance and took it
sailed on a sailboat
slowly to Nantucket
thanks wholly
to her Nan’s ticket
nice of her and now
Sarah seems brighter
somewhat better
as she wrote neatly
in her Nan’s letter

While on safari
(Kiswahili for 'trip')
in Tanzania
over the horizon in a downward slip
across the savannah
the sun had begun to set
thought I'd seen it all
and yet
out on the endless plains
known to the Maasai as 'Serengeti'
not laughing but
and don't think me petty
with leopard-like
rosettes dotted
some funny-looking hyenas
there were spotted
