Ionesc-who? (Rhinocéros)
It was unnoticeable at first:
Comments and jokes
That were far enough
But still too close
Until the people started marching
In the streets and boulevards
Only then did they come to light,
Only then did they succumb to darkness
To watch, in horror, as their skins’ cells
Hardened and turned to scales
To stare as their noses became sharp,
Almost as sharp as their words
To reach out, yet still be unable to stop ‘em
Years of insecurity
Had turned them into monsters
Had given them a herd
And so they chased the people,
With their heavy sounding step
They called to them with yells
And lured them through despair
Since rhinos know no mercy,
Thanks to those who hunt them without fear,
We are left with scaly humans
Who are cold and do not seem to care.
