Predator

The eagle swoops down

His keen sight spies a hare

The hare bounds for cover

A chance for escape is rare..

The forest warns its own

When any predator strikes

It has both eyes and ears

That help to calm some fears

The hunter is now being hunted

The tables have just been turned

Friendship has been earned

And a lesson has been learnt.

Yet –

The forest is now wary

For it’s the human whose presence is scary

Though it protects it’s own

The seeds of fear are sown

For Man is the biggest predator they know

He scans around him quietly

And anything that he can digest

Will get a deathly blow..

And it’s not just in the forest

But also in cities and towns

That the presence of any predator

Brings more fears and frowns
