Slaughter filled the air with fuzzy roars. Peaches rested in
Valleyed rows beneath the needless crumbled brush.
Kittens roamed tall grass like stalking Saharan Kings.

Slowly dying. No roars, No more.
Lies were baked through lustrum while lions no longer roared.
Seeds of stone fruit slipped from food
Towards hardened stone. Money grew again,

Thriving free in field and sun, will remain the sweeter nectar;
More than your retired death where lions no longer roam.
