Predator or Prey

You are predator or you are prey

There is no in between

The pussy cat or the crocodile

No fine line betwixt the two

Danger in the air, a struggle in the making

Either run from the danger

Or turn and fight with all you are

You are predator or you are prey

There is no in between

The peacock or the panther

Waiting in the shadows for the chance to escape

Waiting in the dark, rolling fear across the tongue like a fine vintage

Breathing quickens, blood pumps faster

Darting quick movements, seeking escape

Smooth sinewy strides, the chase begins

Covering ground quickly in leaps and lunges

Breathing harder, pushing further

Racing against the shears of the Fates

One misstep, one great burst of speed

There is no in between…

You are predator or you are prey
