Lest It Becomes a Waste
I like adding life to lifeless lives that is why I cannot do without creative writing, because it is a way of touching some hopeless lives
1. He has just left
His master, he has
Been an apprentice learning
Hunting for a while
2. With his master he
Has traveled to different
Places all over the
World on hunting spree
3. This is his first
Trip to the wilderness
For hunting since time
He left his master
4. Experience as an independent
Hunter is different from
The experience one has
When one is apprentice
5. The wilderness was silent
As if the animals
Had met and declare
An holiday for all
6. He kept walking in
Wilderness searching for his
Prey but he is
Yet to be lucky
7. Was about to give
Up when he saw
Movement of the bush
Hide to see better
8. It is a deer,
He strategically place self
Before firing to hit
It at right place
9. He opened his fire
On animal, it hits
It shouted and started
Running away from spot
10. Hunter knew the animal
Has been hit but
Contrary to his thought
Animal didn’t die there
11. He got to the
Spot, look around and
See blood on the
Ground started tracing it
12. It would become maggots
Food wherever it stops
Falls and die if
It is not traced
13. He trailed its blood
Meters from the spot
He found the lifeless
Boyd of the animal there
14. He cuts the animal
Puts it in hunters
Bag and set to
Return to his abode
