The hyenas

When we ( let's allow to remain anonymous on this sir we ) so

When we ask the hyenas how is it that among many savannah animals
They are not endangered
They tell this little tale

When God blessed be he if there exists

Requested hyenas if they wanted to have a nice dress
Contrary to those ladies of lion tiger leopard cheetah
Giraffe antelope many others and even zebra

They chose among the models proposed

The dress the most sober and modest as possible
In order not to attract the covetousness of men
Eager for beautiful skins for their clothing or carpet

When he asked them what preys they wanted to eat

In giggling
They said him they would be satisfied simply with leftovers of other carnivores
Like vultures asked god under his baobab

Yes like the vultures they replied

We will be made scavengers of savannahs
Thus men delighted that we are accomplishing this necessary and infamous
task
Will spare us

Will not send us in their zoo and

Will have few excuses to exterminate us
Despite their cruelty and
Their misunderstood interests

This does not preclude of course the men to kill hyenas

Alleging their mockeries that they are bone-eater
Their infamous reputation of thanatologists
Without always wanting to recognize the usefulness to secure them

Against all kinds of pestilence and epidemic by cleaning

Their environment of abandoned carrions in the sun of the savannah
By lions and tigers and other carnivores inconsequential and fine nozzle
But what men have to their environment ?
