The acacia spiked fence protrudes into the horizon
Cattle sheltered safely within
Hyenas terrorize them just beyond the boma
Lions grunt in the distance
Terrifying tented tourists
But the warrior stands guard
Third sleepless night
Unconcerned by the wild life outside
Their dance reminiscent
Of impalas stotting
In predator's presence
We returned home at sunset
As the warriors practiced
And introduced them
To the wonders of hopscotch
