Predator
written by: Nafisa Shabbir
The eagle swoops down
His keen sight spies a hare
The hare bounds for cover
A chance for escape is rare.
The forest warns its own
When any predator strikes
It has both eyes and ears
That help to calm some fears
The hunter is now being hunted
The tables have just been turned
Friendship has been earned
And a lesson has been learnt.
Yet –
The forest is now wary
For it’s the human whose presence is scary
Though it protects its own
The seeds of fear are sown
For Man is the biggest predator they know
He scans around him quietly
And anything that he can digest
Will get a deadly blow…
And it’s not just in the forest
But also in cities and towns
The presence of any predator
Brings more fears and frowns
I am a senior citizen who has been writing/composing since my teens and I would like to share my thoughts with like-minded people.
