I Dont Watch Lions

The wild belongs to the wild The world belongs to the world I stay safe and stay away Because nature was designed that way You can’t escape the reason why All carnivores are so spry An unleashed paw in your flesh Is not worth a stroll on a lion's turf A roar of a lion is not a buzzing house fly It’s an unwelcome politeness, take flight If feasting on buffalos is how they dine Then your blood can only be dessert red wine Don’t let your flesh invite the canines Don’t get de-boned just for facebook likes Lions never takes a stroll in our streets Why should I trespass on theirs, with camera flicks? My love for lions is a relationship from a distance We don’t trust each other but I keep the romance

This went straight to my FAV list. I like everything about it, especially the importance of the message. Stay away from lions if you do not want to be eaten!

Precisely, admiration of nature should never involve interference. Thanks Caren.
