Relationship

Nature
creates a bloodline
if I live
you live

Never for a moment
on this earth
are we mutually
exclusive

Irony

Every bullet
that has
a tiger's name
on it

Is a bullet
that has
a hunter's shame
on it

Destiny

Wait and watch
unsuspecting prey
may arrive early
or late

The time to pounce
with every ounce
of energy
is left to fate

Signals

Monkeys chatter
birds flutter
in their own language
they seem to say

Run gazelles
for your life
the queen of the jungle
is on her way

Span

The belief about
lifelines is
they start
when you’re born


They relief about
deadlines is
they end
when you’re gone

Lineage

Being of
kingly descent
carries a
heavy fee

Crosshairs
and a price
upon your head
that’s called royalty

Worth

It’s not how large
your tribe is
or with how many
you agree

But how few
there are
in this world
with your pedigree
