Predator

It creeps. It crawls.

It leaps and brawls.

It keeps its claws

Razor honed.

In stealth it walks

Without a squawk

With heart as hardened as a stone.

 

Beware the ruthless predator

Who kills without remorse.

Whose only instinct is survival,

Only tool is brutal force.

 

Do not dare present a frailty

Else you chance reveal a flaw

That he can use to his advantage

And slash you with his massive paw.

 

When the night is cold and dank

And you walk the streets alone,

Beware the loathsome predator

Whose scruples are unknown.
