Two bears were so in love Tasted the best of honey They slept together in this cave Body huddled close to body Which almost looked like one giant bear And they raised two beautiful cubs They had beautiful brown fur The kind you’d like to tussle But being bears You really wouldn’t want to do that Men came one day Carrying what looked like Big brown and silver tipped sticks They wore bright orange vests and hats Seemed almost comically from bears eyes far from humor The men’s eyes rested on the bears First they seemed amazed at this sight Then they raised their sticks to their heads Pointed them at the bears Almost as if to say, “I’ve been looking for you.” Loud bursts in the forest Made birds flee from their nests The bears ran Multiple beads cutting through fur Through flesh Made them pour out red Confusion and fear The two cubs quickly fell Then the female The male bear ran Exhaustion covered up with scars He crawled back into his cave Tried to sleep but he was cold and scared So he told himself I’m going to sleep for months, years Perhaps a lifetime Because I’ve seen what this world brings So, He slept
