Let's have a moment's

Silence for Cecil (Ses'-al),

But not yet.

Let us think about why

And we felt a little responsible?

Or are we just so upset with what is happening

And immoral happens to an icon

Like Cecil,

We gladly wrap our minds around it,

Sign petitions, and inwardly set up a howling?
