Having reached the status
of bachelor, Beau had been
kicked out of his pride.
Now living the life of a nomad
the ANIMAL was in search of a comrade,
another young male,
another loner .
Beau, the wanderer
wanted to be a conqueror
and in two or more he knew
he had a better chance
not only to survive but to thrive
and to see his dreams come true.
He dreamed one day
to win in battle a pride
become a proud dad,
be one who knew how
to protect and provide.
But sadly it was not meant to be
for during the last hunt he took
a deadly blow, from his guts blood flowed;
his life cut SHORT by an ill-tempered buffalo.
As he took his last breath
some tourists watched in HORROR,
others, unfazed, took photos
while in a frenzy
a pack of wild dogs
torn Beau apart.
