【非洲丛林杀捕】【Bush Kills】

                    【Bush Kills】                  

                     By Tian Yu Zhi

The afternoon sun shines on the full mane of 

A male lion, watching a lioness and a baby lion

Share a meal of zebra carcass, 

A fresh kill for food, beautiful 

A baby white rhino, pauses on the road 

Stares at the Jeep, “What is that,  friends or foe? “

“Move on…,” a  gentle horn nudge from mother rhino 

“…Some of them would kill us for our nails…”

Indeed, some kill rhinos for horns, to almost extinction

In hope of living longer, not knowing

The poison injected to rhinos’ horns

Would send them to heaven, sooner

A fair game, after all
