Food Chain

Nocturnal prey peeks his head
For the last time in the dark
Snatched by his guardian bird
Devoured viciously that instant

Arrogance shines in eagles eyes
Craving adoring glance from her
Flying above in the mountain sky

Cold stare down, a chill runs through
At heart he feels like a prey
But he spreads his wings for last time

That was not a cold glance, but a warning
An arrow pierces through his beautiful wing

Down goes the mighty king; food chain takes her toll
