Why are we running
We run because of the need to feed
To provide for our offspring's after the breed
I stalk you from a far
Picking out the weak, got you in my sights
Our speed makes you wish you were more camouflage in the brush
Already upon you in a rush
Kicking up dust
Startled you
Slowed your reflex's just enough
Usually a solo hunter
But there's an extra pair of 8 feet running next to me
Hunting tactics in synch
Chasing you through the dusty plains
I run you in their direction
So they can sweep you off your feet
Like a midnight affair
As they sink their claws into your legs
I watch as your body and the ground meetsΒ Β 
I circle you panting while they hold you at bay
The white in your eyes show
You know you've become prey
Waiting for you to stretch your neck out for a second wind
Then ill strike and put this battle to a end
