Natures Scramble

Herbivores eaten by carnivores
Predator and prey
A deadly game
Without play

Stalking
Hunting in packs
Ambushing

Safety and power in numbers
Common prey reproduce fastest
A balance that's not a coincidence

A constant fight for food
Adaptations and tactics
Established and developed through time

The hunters eyes turn
A vicious killer reveals

Frantic kayos
Squawking
Squeaking
Hoofs pounding
Claws scraping

Massacre
Tarring of meat
Saliva hanging off a bloody face

The weak are targets
Young and old
No mercy shown
A sad story that must unfold
Ones death allows another's life
