A Bear’s Night Journey
When I started to travel this night
It seemed to be a very quick
decision.
But I knew it would be all right,
My eyes are adapted to nighttime
vision
I usually make these decisions alone
But this morning our group was
called together
By our leader who said in an ugly
tone
“You must bring more food before bad
weather.
We almost always have food
availability
And can fill up on fish and rabbits.
Next to our leader I have the best
ability
But sending me off hunting is one of
his habits
Tomorrow I must go through a human
field
They have come to see all bears as
danger
There is nothing I can do to make
them yield
Then there will be a problem with
the local ranger
But the journey has now begun
