A majestic beast
lies quietly
his mouth propped open
to
show his massive molars
and imagine
what they might do
crunching down on a hunter
its all about abuse
its giving us an impression
creating a vile ruse
2 hunters with their weapon
high powered there it be
and standing in the rear
those ghastly one’s we see
a couple
clearly wicked
heinous, fallen souls
their shamelessness apparent
they took their graceless roles
and shot this powerful being
why would they do this to
a river horse a massive soul
now we see in full view
2 hunters so called sinful
suggesting they were bold
courageous even amazing
on murder they were sold
was it that they were hungry
starving at a point
when a chunk of Hippo meat
would save
or perhaps a nice roast joint
or was it just a game they played
the animal had no chance
swimming in the water
perhaps not a second glance
and bang it was all over
the great soul dead and gone
prop the poor mouth open
yea what a bloody con
This Hippo died for nothing
for a photo possibly
and these two wicked humans
guilty of infamy
they slaughtered a wise being
cut him down in cold blood
and stand their with their smiling faces
and the grief that now does flood
from onlookers who realize
the vileness of their act
their inexcusable conduct
and to how we all react
