The wisdom of a giraffe
sliced half-neck
to satisfy
a tyrant´s greed
The eyes
the stern rhyno´s eyes
from their sad brightness
knowing
the Justice of the land
That the slayers
will be slain
the hunter will be
hunted
From his large portrait
a-lean on the bayonet
will come the tiger
with his legs so spread
his paws of sharp
to hunt down his soul
A lion
his bowels void
To take out his life
to preserve the beauty
of the skin outside
The bear´s eyes
Speak of snow and ice
of roaming the Pole
for a thousand winters
and still
To have set them there
looking just alive
mouths wide open
teeth so hard
to amuse
the hunter´s coterie
over cocktails
Death behind
a crystal wall
The eye
of the Elephant
won´t cry
The ivory horns
out there
to signal the entrance
the Merciless Den
The slain will be slayer
the slayer be slain
Where once was blood
all covered with beautiful skin
the zebra´s stripes
along her pain
All coiffed and clean
The jaguar
once so brave
What will die
or what´ll remain
The lover be loved
the hater be hat´d
The hunter be hunted
The slayer be slain
sliced half-neck
to satisfy
a tyrant´s greed
The eyes
the stern rhyno´s eyes
from their sad brightness
knowing
the Justice of the land
That the slayers
will be slain
the hunter will be
hunted
From his large portrait
a-lean on the bayonet
will come the tiger
with his legs so spread
his paws of sharp
to hunt down his soul
A lion
his bowels void
To take out his life
to preserve the beauty
of the skin outside
The bear´s eyes
Speak of snow and ice
of roaming the Pole
for a thousand winters
and still
To have set them there
looking just alive
mouths wide open
teeth so hard
to amuse
the hunter´s coterie
over cocktails
Death behind
a crystal wall
The eye
of the Elephant
won´t cry
The ivory horns
out there
to signal the entrance
the Merciless Den
The slain will be slayer
the slayer be slain
Where once was blood
all covered with beautiful skin
the zebra´s stripes

The lover be loved
