Masai Stick Handler

The Masai, owners of all the cattle of the world All others being “thieves.” To live is to herd. A life purpose: To mill about . . . Until action is needed, Then it’s the adroit attention, the steering, the calling each by name. Enclose them in the village by night, let them out by day And all the time, With just that simple stick, Keep an eye for lions.
