P R E D A T O R
The lion awaits in the tall grass

waiting to pounce on his prey

A small deer which eats in the distance

not far from where the lion lay

He sqauts real low as not to be caught

his eyes grow thin yet wide

Even if the deer knew of his presence

theres no where that it can hide

his haunches tighten up, as he leaps out

his muscles bulging from the strain

the deer sees him and runs like hell

the lion seeks to kill and maim

do not think badly of the lion

he only needs to stalk then eat

and we all know as humans here

the deer is the sweetest of meat

Alas the deer doth escape

his legs are much faster than the lion

and he thanks his lucky stars

that he is free instead of dyin'

The lion goes off on a search

for another animal he can kill

For even if he had eaten the deer

his insatiable hunger would not fill

So in the tall grasses he lies in wait

for the next unlucky character to come along

The circle of life can be morbid and harsh

but killing is never really wrong.
