Tsavo: The Place of Slaughter

1998 We live the rage of mother nature that men have caused
Hurricanes, tornadoes, rage of sea, floods, cut-down forests
Volcanoes, earthquakes, virus, pests and millions of death
However, this just happened long time before
1898 in Tsavo, Quenia-nature acted the greatest member
Of the animal kingdom, the lion
Two lions turned what would be a simple continuation of human development
Into real manifestation of fury, slaughter and power
The building of a bridge over the Tsavo river would continue the Uganda
Railroad which was being built
But the thousands of workers and lieutenant colonel Henry Patterson
Did not imagine that in the next nine months
They would be frightened by two lions that were like demons or angels

Arose like ghosts, disappeared like demons
Always carrying with themselves a half-dead body, yelling, agonizing
Their attacks were well-aimed and cruel
Nobody has escaped, nobody knew who'd be the next
Of the killing machines
They chased their hunters, and turned fear into panic, terror

They were really sent from God or the devil?
Nobody knew, What one knew was that they were
Of one hundred thirty five mens
The native believed in evil spirits incarnate in animals
The scientists in some nature's disturbance but, so far nobody knows
What one knows is they were infallible and stopped the building of the bridge
The spread of reingless progress, manipulating, destroyer of life, nature and love
Killed for pleasure, not to survive
They had the very death in the eyes with their three meter of length
They weren't lions but the might of gods nature against the perverted
And putrid life of the human being
Tsavo the place of Slaughter
