They have it easy

Dry grassland,
Silence pierces like the sun,
while lions prowl.

Anxiety,
Fear quenches peace like a storm,
Prey scatter away

Vultures swarm
A young calf cries for naught
Lions make the kill

Claws are cleaned
Bones scattered like broken glass
The parched earth stained red

Deceit played
A cat with a full stomach
The desert sun sets

-Juju

What's so amazing about really deep thoughts " Silent all these Years, Tori Amos

You captured the atmosphere masterfully, dear Juju.

Yet, many attacks can be unsuccessful, because every possible prey has its "alarm and defense system" and even lions can be brought to exhaustion and condemned to long days of empty stomachs. No creature seems to have it really easy it seems to me. The most ferocious killer remains the human being ...

Your words reminded me also of "The lion will lay down with the lamb ..." and I found this interesting article: http://www.all-creatures.org/hr/hralion.htm

Thank you for this thought provoking piece.

Love,
Margherita
