The Rhino


The Rhino
Laijon Liu 20171130

an awesome spearhead set upon your forehead
that makes you invincible
a full body armor equipped you by Nature
that makes you indestructible
heavyweight you are, so no lions nor beasts
dare to mess with you
and stamina you’ve got to patrol the wild plains

Curse! Curse all your natural gifts!
because men shoot you with their rifles
with their armor piercing bullets
feel ten thousand awls
drilling every part of your organs
focus on your sharp head pain
the burning sensation, the saw tooth blade
the shocks, and the epileptic seizure
when they gelding you, you are paralyzed
and your pride?
only for the mountebank and his primitive folk.
