Alert against ambush,
abjuring aloneness -
advancing altogether -
avoiding annihilation.

Awareness acute, always,
among attacking beasts.

Bolting, bounding,
bypassing capture,
circumventing carnage.

Crossing drought-dry desolation,
defying death.

Determined emigrants.
Endeavoring.
Enduring.
Fighting famine,
fatigue.

Forming families:
father, fecund females, foals.

Foraging grasslands,
gathering, grazing.

Galloping herds.
Imperiled journeyers.

Keen lions lurk,
loom,
leap,
liquidating life.

Merciless massacre.
Mayhem.
Negation.
Nadir.
Nothingness.

Odyssey -
open plains passage,
persevering,
questing.

Rainyseason's raging rivers,
ravenous raiders' savagery,
seasonal scarcity,
scorching sun.
Suffering
Serengeti traversers.

Thirsting -
undaunted,
unyielding,
unbowed.

Untamed vagabonds -
vigilant,
valiant,
watchful wayfarers.

What x-emplary x-plorers,
you zebras.
