  Bird of Prey
  

  
  

   

  
  

  Bird of prey circles high in the sky

  
  

  Watching the plains far below

  
  

  Searching for signs with its sensitive eyes

  
  

  Sorting the strong and the weak

  
  

   

  
  

  Outlook uncertain, at best it looks bleak

  
  

  Dashing from one hole to the next

  
  

  Warm furry victim so shy and so sleek

  
  

  Better hide in your hole or you’ll die as you run

  
  

   

  
  

  From high above a flash catches sight

  
  

  Small dash of motion sets off the attack

  
  

  Wings folding in, hidden by the sun light

  
  

  Stealthy and silent, so deadly and black

  
  

   

  
  

  Your fate drops like a rock from the sky

  
  

  Your heart pounding faster, you dash ‘cross the field

  
  

  Can you feel the cast shadow in the eye of your mind

  
  

  Better run, better hide, find your hole, slip inside

  
  

   

  
  

  The two lives collide in the blink of an eye

  
  

  Feathers and fur struggling to survive

  
  

  Were you pierced by the talons

  
  

  Or were you able to hide

  
  

   

  
  

  Seems you were lucky you’ll live one more day

  
  

  As bird catches wind, climbing back to the sky

  
  

  Better take heed, stay aware, yes indeed

  
  

  You had better stay sharp or you’re going to bleed
