"Roar," says the lion
in the face of danger,
though timid it may be.
The buffalo stares
unblinking, unmoved,
its heart froze cold.
Even if they wish,
they cannot draw breath
choking on fear.
Their wills are locked
dueling to survive
to live out the day.
Who would take a step
in the dance not decided?
Do they charge or flee?
If they could evaluate
their moral predicament
neither would be wrong.
Whatever they choose
is just another day
in the wild landscape.
