Stalked by the lion 


I am the weak prey evading it’s jaws


 My legs are lagging and I cannot rest until I know I am safe


 This barren savannah has no mercy


 No respite to hide , so I must keep running.


 A vulnerable antelope, my stamina wanes


 Stumbling and panting, my will to survive subsides


 Tunnel-vision focused on an escape, when will this end?


 Only when the hunted becomes the hunter.

The Hunted
Stalked by the lion 


I am the weak prey evading it’s jaws


 My legs are lagging and I cannot rest until I know I am safe


 This barren savannah has no mercy


 No respite to hide , so I must keep running.


 A vulnerable antelope, my stamina wanes


 Stumbling and panting, my will to survive subsides


 Tunnel-vision focused on an escape, when will this end?


 Only when the hunted becomes the hunter.
