Predators and Prey

We all live on the food chain Even if we cannot see it There are predators that lurk And those of us who are prey Fight as prey might It always ends up running Never can the predator be defeated Only postponed for a night Living under the gaze of their eyes Constantly aware, on the look out Never knowing the next attack Until it's already happening We can run, or we freeze Fear's hold so paralyzing That all we can think of is survival And try to be a pleasing prey
